Raina Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 I just made some mash & marmite for the big girls and was wondering if i can give the chicks some? They are 11 & 12 days old Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 TBH I'd say probaby not, as the marmite might be a little salty for them ,and if you used butter and milk in the mash, it might be a little rich. I'd keep them on chick crumbs, water and a tiny taste or two of greens for now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwing Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 its quite stody for them too A bit of mashed up boiled egg or a little lettuce would be ok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LuckyChickenLover- Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 I've read that marmite is good for them because it contains lots of B vitamins. They also apparently love the taste, but make sure you only give them really tiny ammounts as it's really salty. Maybe wait untill they're a little bit older and can handle more salt.
