wonderful recipe. I'm always looking for new treats to make for the girls.

I always thought it was a bad thing to have the feed go bad, so to speak. So I was a little taken aback when I read about fermented feed. I want to try that breakfast of champions recipe that is on fresheggsdaily.com. I am trying to figure out if I could do it with her recipe.

Thanks for the link. may try it.

I hear a lot of talk of fermented feed. What is the advantage of fermented vs. regular?

K9Dave, just be aware when making saurkraut, it will really stink. I teach college bio and one of the experiments in the lab book is making kimchi. I've been wanting to try it so I searched the net and some said that it needs a lot of ventilation. good luck if you try it. I would love to hear...

What a bath you got that day. I know that I am new to the chicken game, but I notced that everything they do, they do it with a lot of force. you could teach the chickies how to take the treat "nice" like you can with dogs. I am trying to train the chickens so I may have to see about this.

thans for the avice, k9dave. I see that chickens will eat almost anything and since I am new to the chicken world I worry. the website iwiw60 gave has a lot of info. herbs are not difficult to grow so I say go for it.

thanks iwiw60. this is a great site.

does anyone know of any herbs that chickens cannot eat. I am an herbalist so I have many different types in the garden. I just don't want to let them eat anything harmful to them.

hi everyone. I downloaded a book on my tablet called "my pet chicken handbook". the author has some great treat recipes for chickens such as porridge, cakes, and waldorf salad. I just had to make the hatchday cake. it has cornmeal, creamed and kernel corn, and can be "iced" with yogurt. the...
