Grif, actually chicks contain almost the same amount of fat as adult mice; 22.4% vs. 23.6%.
I'm thinking of Quail Chicks not chickens. Sorry .Anyway, rodents also have a tendency to overload their system with protein causing a form of cloudy eye to form from the protein building up in the eye and if rodent are fed continually it will perminantly blind the frog. I've not heard this with feeding chicks, but it is possible with feeding your frog anything that can potentially overload their system with protein. Fat buildup like this can also occur.
