When to buy chicken scratch?

[1girl2chicks]

my almost 5 week old chicks are still eating chick starter but at what age can they start on chicken scratch?

I started giving mine scratch at about 5 weeks old but made sure they had/have access to grit.

Their grow starter food already has corn in it , when they older scratch is ok. Mine love seedless grapes like crazy , break them in half and watch them go nuts!

wow I've been trying to give them different kinds of snacks but so far they haven't been liking anything (other than mealworms of course) I need to try grapes now! Thanks

My chicks are only 1 week old. How old should they be before I offer them treats?
