What snacks DON'T or chickens like???

[Spikes Chooks]

Like Farmer Kev's post, my chickens love mostly anything I offer with few exceptions. Their favorites - lettuce, cabbage, tomatoes, cucumbers, bread, green beans, peas, mixed vegetables, corn, warm oatmeal, banana, melon, watermelon, apples, tuna. They have things they don't eat as well but they still do eat it. The only thing they flatly refused to eat was Cheerios! Haven't tried pumpkin yet, but I will eventually. Anyone have any ideas on adding protein besides tuna? What do you add?

I also give them a tin of sardines (between four chickens), and left over cat food from time to time. Tinned salmon, hard boiled egg and any other leftover cooked meats go in ocassionally.

I haven't found much they really don't like, but they will eat meat first, then the starch, then the veggies. Mine are a bit spoiled.

Mine go crazy over peas and corn in cooked rice, they love soup with any sort of vegetables, but wont eat carrots in any form. They love pecking at my jewellry though!

The only thing they don't seem to like is potato chips. I guess they don't like the salt. Probably a good thing they didn't like them.
