What treat did your chickies get today?

Broccoli - and they just looked at it like its a piece of rock

ROFL, I gave them broccoli once and got the same reaction. That and parsley both got the same look. They love fresh lavender and Thai basil though.

Corn on the cob, tomatoes, and salmon.

Wow. I think I would be very happy if I was getting these treats!

My girls go crazy over the broccoli heads. So funny how different chickens are.

Ha ha ha, I should try Thai basil but right now they're loving Jalopeno and tomatoes from our garden.

Half a head of cabbage...they loved it.

I was on vacation last week so the chickens were on a commercial feed diet all last week with the sitter and most of this week as we adjust to being back home and catching up on other things... I scored a boat load of chopped/shredded salad lettuces yesterday as well as a bunch of fresh broccoli florets... Gave the chickens a copious amount of lettuce today and they were not all that impressed... I suspect they have probably been filling up on the commercial feed not expecting any treats, and are out of sync...

Raw corn on the cob

Mine got a head of spring greens (hung up to entertain them), some corn to scratch at, and the leftover seeds and pulp from some raspberry and blackberry jam I made this morning.

We had a little rain, and then I saw my girls chasing each other around with a frog this morning! The fastest one ended up downing it. Good little foragers!

Cabbage is a favorite for our hens, too! We feed it whole and it keeps them busy.
