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.

How old does a baby chicken need to be to leave its mum?
Many chicks never know their mother. Most chicks are artificially incubated and are raised in a brooder with other chicks their own age. Chicks hatched by a broody hen in the chicken coop often stay with "mom" until they are full grown at the age of 6 to 8 months old and will often stay with "mom" all their lives. This is basically just for companionship as the mother hen does not feed her chicks, they are born knowing how and what to eat.
