What can chickens eat?

Chicks need to pay special attention to their diet between newborn and 4 weeks old. Here are some foods that chicks can eat:

1. Eggs: Usually, the first meal of a chick after birth is the yolk and egg white contained in eggs. Eggs are rich in nutrients such as protein, vitamins and minerals and are very important for the growth and development of chicks.

2. Chicken feed: Commercial chicken feed is a specially formulated feed suitable for chickens. It contains various nutrients required by chickens, such as protein, carbohydrates, fats, vitamins and minerals. Chickens can be fed a small amount of chicken feed to meet their growth and development needs.

3. Cooked rice: Cooked rice provides the chick with easily digestible carbohydrates and increases the size of the stomach, helping the chick digest food better.

4. Water: Chicks need enough water to stay healthy and carry out normal metabolic activities. You can place a water cup in the chicken coop or provide it with some shallow dishes so that the chickens can drink water by themselves.

In short, when feeding chicks, it is necessary to ensure that their food is clean, hygienic, easy to digest and absorb, and they need to be fed quantitatively every day. At the same time, it is also necessary to keep the drinking water clean and replace the drinking water and drinking fountains in time to ensure the healthy growth of the chicks.
