LOL! Rhonda, I wish you had your chicks on video too. I do the same with dirt/soil and believe that the dirt exposure so early in life helps build resistance to mareks.

I feed wild greens, same as Cathryn. I also like to pull up clumps of grass and weeds--roots, soil, and all--and put some in with the chicks. They have a great time pecking around in it, eat some (including rootlets), scratch a lot, probably get some tiny grit.
Once in a while there's the bonanza of a bug, grub, or worm. I shall always regret that I didn't get it on video, when the half-grown chicks found an earthworm--two chicks got hold of the worm, one on each end, ran around a bit playing keep-away with the others, went into tug-of-war stance, at which point a third chick bit the worm in the middle--and the two on the ends fell over on their fluffy butts!
