WOW !! I got my 10 "girls" last Wed. They are a week old now and my boys and I can not believe how fast they have grown. I have 5 RIR and 5 Barred Rocks. They are flapping around and stretching their wings a lot. I had forgotten how fast they grow. The boys are having a blast with the chicks and I must admit they are a lot of fun. Can you guys tell me when I should start giving them grit. It says at 2 weeks, is this the norm? Thanks all. Gayle

I never give chicks grit because they get starter only. And I only give grit to chickens that get something other than chicken feed and haven't been out in a while to be able to pick up pebbles on their own. I only have 1 pen wih a floor. The rest have dirt floors. So they have access to get pebbles. I do provide the breeders with oyster shell.
