Yes, mine LOVE tomatoes. I usually give them the parts i don't want (if they're bruised or not ripe enough) or tomatoes with too much bug damage from the garden. I've heard that you just need to avoid giving them the greens/vines of the tomato plants as they're toxic (to humans too!) They...

I wouldn't give them vanilla or any other flavored yogurt, mainly because it has so much sugar in it. it's almost like pudding! plain only, and even then i only give in moderation; i've heard of some chickens getting the runs because they don't have the enzymes to digest dairy.

This has been so interesting to watch in my flock too. They are getting growth spurts at different times so day-to-day it can change who's the biggest, and I definitely feel like I see that play out in their little skirmishes. I just gave my babies some bruised peach today and they LOVED it...

Mine seem to love purple and red treats the best: grapes strawberries red cabbage red lettuce They also loved the leftover roasted pumpkin i gave them -- picked the skins clean. They're starting to take a liking to yogurt after at first just shaking it off and rubbing their beaks on the...
