I feed my chicks the same whole grains as the adults from the day out of the egg. Baby chicks run around with their mothers and eat whatever the mother eats from the first day so I do the same. I cut up swiss chard, apples, tomatoes, zukes, string beans, anything from the garden. I give them grass clippings and take the shovel and put a piece of sod with grass in the chick box with them and replace it every couple of days with a fresh one. They love to scratch, dig and eat it all. I also give them a bowl of fresh cows milk, fresh yogurt or curdled milk daily. I also sprinkle some teeny grit on their little patch of dirt and grass and calcium since the whole grains have no supplement in it.
