Sounds good to me as a treat, i intend to do it, but i have read quite a few times that feeding day old chicks as the main diet could be the cause of problems in the long run,

i wouldn't feed them as a staple but see no harm in feeding as part of there diet .. i stopped feeding them as the bulk of there food as i found they developed coughs which i put down to the fluff irritating there gullets

i give them to my ferrets and dogs as a treat and have never had a problem ...

[Parabuteos lad 878]

I feed1/2 every other weekas a change to ferret food

A odd one might be fine but there just a egg wrapped in fluff never had time to build up muscle etc and the fluff can irritate the membrane in the ferrets throat

we found when feeding the polecats at the nature center where i worked that feeding to many chicks caused hair loss after a time, vet said its was down to too much ceretain in thier diet which was from the yolk sacs in the chicks so we reduced it to one each a week and the hair grew back.
