Food Scraps?

[Akrnaf2]

in the molting period I smash (with mortar ) some leftover chicken wings, especially the bones, to purée like mush, and give it to the chickens, they like it very much and it's a grate source of calcium for them!

Aw, don't pick grit for them! A bag of grit you can just throw into their run is cheap and will last a LONG time. If they are somewhat confined, you can even put it in their food.

I give our chickens just about anything except highly processed generally unhealthy crap (which we don't eat anyway). The only thing they have refused so far is celery of all things. I chopped it up along with the garlic which they love and some leftover salad. Later, everything in the bowl was gone except for the celery! Who knew they could be that picky! In the winter, they love a bowl of old fashioned oatmeal in some warm water (not cooked since I dont like oatmeal).

Will chickens eat leftover roast beef?

You'll have to get your fingers out of the way. Best to do in larger chunks to enjoy chicken football. For some reason these dumb birds announce it to the public when they have food.

Enjoy

Mine will eat the pumpkin seeds but not the pumpkin! They also do not like carrots, cooked or raw. They don't eat sweet potato French fries or broccoli or green pepper! I think mine are just picky eaters, lol.

Mine won't eat carrots proper, but take a peeler to the whole carrot and give them a pile of carrot worms,,,, and look out!
