Thank you for your response. It's not crumbles, but an organic starter feed. It has ground corn, soybean meal, wheat mids and a long list of nutrients. We'll try the grass with roots and dirt. We've got plenty of that especially with all the grass pulling I do around my plant babies. :)

I think one recommendation is to let them outside a little bit at about two weeks, if the weather is good. They are inside right now. Our plan is to use a "tractor" like thing my son built and move it around every day or so. We have people over who own those large chicken buildings and this way we can keep the chickens in areas where the others won't walk in.

Here's the little bunch while the brooding area was being cleaned.
