Wild bird seed... as treats for my chicks???

[BackyardBirds720]

Okay, so I am just looking around at what I could give as treats to my chickens. Right now they are three weeks old - so I'm not sure if they are too young for it but...

would wild bird seed be a good treat (it has sunflower seeds, cracked corn, and lots of other little seeds)?!?

Thanks,
Craig

my older girls were chasing off the squirrels until they realized that the squirrels were knocking down bird seed off of the bird feeders. They LOVE bird seed. I give it to my 6 week old RIRs.

Mine love bird seed. Sometimes, I mix it in with their scratch.

Mine love it so much that they'll quickly run back into the coop if they see me toss a hand-full inside. As a result they get a small amount every night. They eat the millet first then go to work on the sunflower seeds, leaving the peanuts for last. They know where I keep it in the garage and get all excited when they know I'm going to open up the sealed container I store it in.
