I got my chicks last friday so there little over a week old. So far I have only feed them chick starter. What would be some good choices of human food to give them as treats right now?. Or are they to young to even start doing that now?..... I belive that giving them human treats means giving them grit is this correct?

This is the first time I have had chickens so any help would be great

THANKS
 
You could start giving them finely chopped up hard boiled eggs. Everyone on the thread says it's good for the young ones. I did it. You can just lightly sprinkle grit on their feed and that would be fine. Enjoy your new chicks!
 
Cooked rice mixed with yogurt and chopped boiled eggs with the shell mixed with some of the crumbles is a good one too. If they are eating commercial crumbles it has grit in it already and you don't need to supplement it.
