When can you.......?

When can you start giving baby chicks bread and stuff from the kitchen?

I always wait 2 or 3 weeks, just so they get a good, healthy, high-protein start with chick starter before I add any treats. Crumbled, boiled egg yolks are a good baby treat.

Good advice. You might also try tiny crickets. At first they aren't sure what to do with them, but they catch on quickly.
