Baby Chick Exploring a Patch of Grass

Young chicks spend their early days exploring farmyards and pastures under the watchful care of a mother hen. Standing on a patch of grass, the chick observes its surroundings using its sharp eyesight. Exploring grassy lawns helps young birds learn to scratch the soil and search for tiny seeds, insects, and fresh plant shoots.

How Young Chicks Explore Their Environment

Chicks are born precocial, which means they are covered in down and able to walk around within hours of hatching. They rely on instinct to peck at interesting objects on the ground, testing what is edible and what is not. Spending time on fresh grass provides young poultry with natural sunshine, exercise, and essential nutrients found in young greens.

Real Colors of a Chick on Grass
