Bugs and earthworms can be digested by chicks right away, as soon as they start foraging in the yard with the mother hen. This is usually about week two or three. These are treats and should never be the sole source of nutrition for chicks as the protein levels will cause problems. Start your chicks on a chick starter feed at least for the first few weeks of life whenever possible. Even free range hens will do better when given a good start and they will supplement that with whatever they find in the farmyard.
