treats

[sweetiepie mama]

My chicks are 2 weeks old. What treats can i offer them? I know once they get them i will offer chick grit. Thanks

I give mine grass clippings, even at one week of age. I give only a tiny amount- and I make sure they are as short as I can make them, say 1/2 inch long. I give them chick grit sprinkled over the food also.

I feel the grass offers vitamins and health. But you don't want the clippings to be too long or it can cause impacted crop. They do need the high protein of the chick feed so not too many either.

Grapes (cut up at that age), watermelon bits, cooked spaghetti noodles...actually most softer fruits (no avocado though), bits of lettuce,
