Grass

I read a post about digging up a clump of grass for the baby chicks. I was wondering what everyones opinion are about it.

It's a great way to start building their immune system plus, it's fun for them. Just make sure to give them chick grit beforehand

I've always gave chicks a clump of dirt with grass, the idea is they get beneficial microorganisms to help build immune systems. The only risk would be coccidiosis which I never had chicks die from whether they were raised by hen or in a brooder.
