Chickens Fav Treats!!!!

[Mpks92]

Mealworms. They love them. Never fails to draw them in no matter where they are on the property. We have 3 1/2 acres they get to free range most of it and every time I open the lid I keep the worms in they come a running.

Mashed potato, cheese, pasta, peanut-butter on bread. My girls absolutely love those things, they also love their oat and yoghurt mash(with the garlic of course!) and their seed scratch mix.



P.S. My girls have always loved sunflower seeds in their seed mix.

I forgot to add Garlic. I read somewhere right after I got our chicks that they love raw garlic and that it's good for them. So I skinned and diced maybe 3 cloves into small pieces put it in my hand and fed them. They were like wild beasts over it. Nice way to make garlic eggs before they're even in your pan.

just as with other treats (probably even more so) be careful not to give too much. Garlic has the same sulphur compounds in it as what makes onions poisonous to chickens (and most animals), it's just not as highly concentrated in garlic as it is in onions.

Mine love almost anything, but they go bonkers for Cheese and I do mean bonkers. If feeding it by hand you have to be real careful or you could lose a finger.

Subs right. Too much garlic can cause anemia. This link busts a few myths.
But remember treats should be just that, treats.

Clabbered milk.
They gobble it up quick!! When I have an overabundance of raw milk, I put a half gallon in a bowl and leave it on counter. When it gets thick I give it to my girls and they love it. And it's so good for them!
