I personally don't like feeding a all mouse diet or all rat and use chicks and quail frequently in my feedings. The idea that rodents are a complete diet (or any single food item) is a bit silly to me. The only thing I try to stay away from is fish, reptiles and amphibians because of the parasite transfer worry. If you are willing to do frequent fecals and treat accordingly it would not be an issue.
So to be more direct, I would not feed only chicks for an extended time. I would also suggest offering a chick and a mouse together that were thawed together. That might stimulate the feeding response and get both eaten if the snake is left alone for an hour or so. Just drop them both in with the mouse on the top of the bird.
