Mama hen stew (Aka chicken peanut butter)
One day, My best broody hen, Fluffy butt (She's and Ancona, which they don't really good broody, but she has good broody instincts) went broody. She had a clutch of eggs under her and I didn't want her to get up to eat and drink so the eggs won't get cold.
I made sure she only got up a few times to use the bathroom. So I made a dish that had food and water in so she could either eat it in her nest, or get up really quick to eat the food close to her and get food and water at the same time. But I noticed my other birds also liked it so I made another batch and gave it to them. I originally called it "Mama hen soup" until the next day, when I made a batch that looked more like stew. She liked it better. So I now called it mama hen stew.
1. Add Crumble or pellets in a tub (In this case, I used pellets.)
2. Add water to the tub
If you are using pellets, use water to drown the pellets. If you are using Crumble, you don't need as much water.
3. Stir until it has a porridge texture and add grains
4. Stir the grains until it is not on the top of the dish.
5. Feed to you chickens. If they like it, you can choose to make more.
If they don't like it, don't make it anymore.

Chicken rice
I wanted to make a dish that had manly scratch grains, and I thought of Mama hen stew. So, I made the recipe below, and it looked like rice. So then I called it chicken rice.
1. Put Scratch grains in a bowl.
2. Add water. Make sure it is flooded with water. Let it soak for a few minutes.
3. Check if the rice has a bold yellow color, like the picture below.
4. Drain the water. Make sure you leave some water in the rice to keep it moist.
5. Feed to you chickens. If they like it, you can choose to make more.
If they don't like it, don't make it anymore.

Chicken smoothie
It was summertime. My chickens must have wanted ice cold water (with some flavor). I put water in a tub, added flavor and ice and gave it to my birds. They really enjoyed drinking it.
1. Pour water in a tub
2. Add ice. It will make the dish cold.
3. Add flavors. It can be herbs, flowers, grass, fruit and vegetable scraps, scratch grains, crumble, pellets, ANYTHING A CHICKEN CAN EAT!
4.Feed to you chickens. If they like it, you can choose to make more.
If they don't like it, don't make it anymore.
