Turns out chickens like pancakes with syrup. We wanted breakfast for dinner tonight so I made homemade pancakes. We sat outside on the deck and I decided to hold out a piece of pancake kind of as a joke to one of the chickens. She snagged it and the rest came running. A hilarious game of keep away ensued that included my lab - everyone trying to get the pancake. It kept falling apart so I think everyone got a piece in the end. Wish I'd had my video camera out!
Their other favorite treat, besides plain yogurt, grapes & watermelon, is peaches. They attack them and not a scrap is left.

Something else I treat my chickens too, and I hope its ok is "Okra"- its left over soy bean mesh after I make soy milk. There is no salt or anything else added in. They seem to really go after it and love it. Sometimes I add a little bit of my corn meal too.

Fed in large quantities, toxins could build up that might impeded good health. Being fed oranges as a treat will not cause them to keel over dead with their bellies up. But you may not have the healthiest of birds, either.
I feed my girls the occasional orange half in their treat basket. But that's once a month or so.

Coldinnh, I don't know the answer to this. I don't think that item has come up here before. I'll try to find out.

Jeepers, now I have to make a category for pancakes? Buckwheat or buttermilk? Baked or in a skillet? Oh, so much work for our girls, right?

Heck, I'm a cheese lover - I'd never want to share it with my girls!
But if you want to, I'm sure it would be a good treat, in small quantities. There's a lot of pure fat in cheese, and also you don't want a bunch of constipated chickens.
