I used chicks successfully and extensively in the '80s for Rat Snakes, King Snakes, Pits, and an occasional Boid.
I did it mostly because I was poor, and could raise a few chicks to larger size for larger animals.
.
I stopped for a few reasons: smell and nutritional value based on weight.

Try this for some good info.

I do used quail chicks as an appetite stimulant to picky feeders.
