Can you give week old chicks treats? What would you give them? What are your chicks favorite treats? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I generally do not give chicks under 4 weeks old any treats since chicks need to GROW.
A good chick starter feed is all they need during this time.
If you have to give them something other than their starter, a hard boiled egg yolk would be fine.
If you feed them anything that would require "chewing," then you must also provide them with chick grit.

I feed my chicks boiled egg everyday or every other day starting at about 2 weeks old. It seems to make them feather out faster and they love it!! Its hilarious to watch them chase each other around. It also gives my mother hen a treat and I'm sure she is grateful for it after having to eat chick starter everyday
