jo_h Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 Hello all, I wondered if anyone could help me with a query. I have 5, 5-week old chicks who have just started to go outside and eat anyhing and everything they can lay their beaks on. I'm feeding them on chick crumbs at the moment but wondered if I should also be feeding them on grit as well? Anyone got any thoughts? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Griffin Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 You can buy chick grit and leave some of that in a bowl for them. My baby Brahmas are four weeks old, living outside with their mum and almost from day one they've been helping themselves to her corn that's got bits of grit in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tidygirlsuk Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 I remember reading a wesite about raising chicks with a broody that was recomended on here and they said that they ad chick grit at day 3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craftyhunnypie Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 I would start introducing them to growers pellets. Mix some in with their chick crumb. I get mine onto growers by 6 weeks. Emma.x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jo_h Posted June 15, 2009 Author Share Posted June 15, 2009 Thank all for your help. I've ordered some chick grit and will start introducing them to growers pellets soon. Thanks again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
