I usually give my give my girls some sort of scraps (carrot peelings, celery greens, lettuce scraps, apple peelings, fruit that is beginning to get mushy, bits of cooked chicken, left over scrambled eggs, etc). Not so much that it's unhealthy, but I'll toss some out to them every few days in the evening.
Tonight I used ham shanks to make broth for ham and bean soup. The shanks are completely in tact, and since we're getting a cold snap I thought I'd warm one up in the oven tomorrow morning and throw it in their run. I was just wondering if anyone else had done this, or if you think it's ok? I've given them the bone of venison shoulder roast before with his if meat still on it and they devoured it. The bone was unbelievably clean in an hour. I'm just not sure about ham.
Maybe this is silly to even be asking, but I thought I'd check with sk of you amazingly knowledgeable folks here first before I toss the cooked shank to my 6 girls tomorrow.
