Got it. That’s exactly how I feed my pig too, make him work for it (he’s such a hog ) I truly appreciate your feedback!Yes, the calcium is there all the time. Keep it from getting wet, and it'll be fine. It wouldn't grow mold unless it got wet and dirty.
Keep anything that isn't their feed (or the calcium) to a minimum, as yes, it would be a treat.
I make my chickens "work" for their treats. When I give them a bucket of weeds from the garden, I dump them in a pile and they have to scratch through them. Even when I give them their mash snack, I dump out spoonfuls around the run. (This also keeps the birds higher in the pecking order from gaurding/hogging all the mash.)
I seldom give them BOSS (black oil sunflower seed) or mealworms. Once or twice a month. I toss out about 1/4 cup, scattered around the run, for 10 chickens.
