Our 5 chicks are 1 week old today, and we wondered if its ok to give them mealworm (dried or fresh), and garden worms occasionally?

Can they have them so young?

I give chicks dried mealworms crunched up a bit as a very odd treat
Helps to get them hand tame from an early age

Our chicks are wild for meal worms!  Can scarf them down easily when broken up in bits.

Thanks.  What about ordinary garden worms?

hi,

Ours are alll very healthy and happy and we've given them 'maggots' from the fishing shop and they love the earthworms from the garden. Sometimes i think we will have no worms left in the garden!

W give ours worms too. I love to watch them grab and run with them. Again only the size that they can manage.
