    No-bake cookies for chickens recipe

    Hello! I'd thought that I would share this recipe with you all, because it is pretty simple and fun to make. I was researching different chicken cookie recipes one time, but they all involved molasses, which I never have on hand. So, another family member and I decided to make up our own recipe...

    Any such thing as too many black soldier fly larvae

    I know that chickens are not supposed to eat more than 10% of their diet in treats. What is considered a treat? If a chicken free ranges, it eats lots of bugs. Is that a treat? Is there a difference between the bugs that chickens eat free-ranging, and black soldier fly larva? I guess what is...

    Protein treats for ducks?

    I have 6 runner ducks and 5 ISA brown hens, who I spoil very much with small amounts of fresh fruit and veg almost every day.

    “Mush” recipe

    They wont eat "Treats"!?

    Hi Guys! Just a quick question, Is it normal for them not to be interested in "treats" and fresh food? They're thoroughly 11/12 weeks old and they're just not that interested in fresh foods or even the occasional treat? Picture below of my babies <3

    Treats. Chickens more finicky than the cat!

    Question for you all. Have you ever had a flock that absolutely would not touch certain greens that other people say their hen's love? My girls hate cabbage. They could care less about 90% of the green-leafed treats I offer them. Unless they forage them for themselves they just ignore them...
