This is how I've fed my chicks since I started breeding canaries in 2002. If you use baby cereal, your chicks will definitely need a calcium supplement. The iron in the baby cereal depletes the chicks' calcium. I spend a small fortune on produce for my birds. They get broccoli, kale, carrots, apple, sweet potato, grapes, orange, sometimes cauliflower. Sometimes I chop them to add to the seed, sometimes I offer them on a separate paper plate. I don't feed my birds spinach. Like the baby cereal, it causes calcium depletion.
