Up to about 4 to 6 weeks old it is best to keep chicks on chick grower. Grower is made small so tiny beaks can handle the food. Adult bird feed is often too large to swallow.

Table scraps are often hard for the young birds digestive system as it is still developing.

Free range chicks will experiment with small plants and bugs but almost all their daily needs are met with Chick starter /grower.
