Howdie folks,

at what stage can chicks start eating stuff other than chick crumb, and is it a good idea to do so?

Had them out on the grass the other day when i had a stop of sunshine and they loved scratching about, but the weather just not up to it at the mo here...funny...they didnt bother scratching until they went outside, now their newspaper on bottom of cage ripped to bits where they are scratching!
