What treat did your chickies get today?

Just scratch this morning so I could coerce the dang roo outside the coop to grab the eggs. He goes to freezer camp this weekend for sure.

I hung a head of cabbage in their pen for them today, first time I have tried that. Also gave them some cherry tomatoes, a peach, wild sunflower plants (stalk and all) they normally strip everything off of it and I just remove the stalk later. Dandelion leaves, basil and parsley. I spoil them everyday. I cannot believe how much fun I am having with them. First time chicken owner here and now I want a more elaborate coop for them! My husband is shaking his head!

Clucker, I'm new too and feel the same way. I love looking in my fridge to find them some goodies. Everyday I will pick a bunch of healthy herbs and stuff from my backyard, dandelion leaves, plantain, etc. also they are getting left over salmon from last nights dinner. Just a 1/2 piece, but it's enough for the 19 of them to each get a little. Boy these eggs are gonna cost me a lot once they finally start laying.

I'm picking up scratch for them today, and they will probably get some old bread too!

Yesterday, my girls had Cheerios, in the morning. Lettuce & grapes, in the afternoon and some rice left over after supper. Good day for treats!

trail mix!! they still aren't too sure as they are new to treats. Up until I joined this group I had no idea what was safe and what wasn't. My girls really love the fact that I am on here now

Stewed until they are soft chicken bones.

I roasted a chicken and sliced all the meat off. Then put the carcass into the crock-pot and let it simmer on low overnight.

When it was cool i de-boned the chicken and had a cup of meat for recipes and a pile of soft bones, skin and cartilage.

I snipped bones and all up with a pair of kitchen shears and gave it to the chickens. They gobbled it up like little avian hogs. Only mealworms have been a bigger hit.

reconstituted powdered milk and fermented turkey starter. Gross mixture, but they loved it.

"Molt Muffins", cause my older girls are looking a little ragged. http://www.the-chicken-chick.com/2013/08/molt-muffins-for-chickens-during.html They weren't too sure, pecked away cautiously, but I think they'll get used to them.
