What do newborn chickens eat?

Newborn chickens, also known as chicks, are primarily herbivores. Here's what they eat:

* Starter Feed: This is a specialized feed specifically designed for chicks. It contains high levels of protein, vitamins, and minerals to support their rapid growth.

* Crumbled Chick Starter: This is a type of starter feed that is finely ground for easier consumption by chicks.

* Grit: This is essential for chicks as they don't have teeth. Grit helps them break down food in their gizzards.

* Water: Clean, fresh water is crucial for hydration and healthy growth.

Avoid:

* Table scraps: These can be harmful and may contain harmful bacteria or ingredients that chicks can't digest.

* Milk: Chicks cannot digest dairy products.

* Hard grains: These can be difficult for chicks to swallow and digest.

Note: Chicks are still developing their digestive systems and need a diet that is specifically formulated for their needs.
