How to Introduce Your Chickens to a Vegetable Diet
You can throw in the vegetable treats to your chicks anytime, and they will peck on the leaves (or roots) when they want.
Feed Your Chicks With a Regular Protein-Rich Diet
Chicks need a protein-rich diet to grow. Your starter chicken feed should have at least 24% crude protein if you want your chicks to grow quickly and in good health.
Ensure That the Vegetables Are Safe
Are there pesticides on the vegetables? For how long have you been storing the vegetables? Make sure that the vegetables are fresh and safe for your chicks.
