Are Cheese Nips ok for a treat????

[Chicken_Lover4567]

I have tons upon tons of cheese nips, and no one but me eats them. I was wondering if they would be safe to give my chickens as an occasional treat. Oh, and if it helps, they are Barred Rocks.

I don't think a few cheese nips is gonna hurt them....but I wouldn't feed them too many too often. Salt isn't very good for them.

I gave mine (9 layers 2-3 years old) a handful crushed about three weeks ago and they all seem fine.
I had some outside and they all were staring at me and I couldnt help myself. They havent had any since.

My RIR hen loves an occasional goldfish cracker.

My chicks love them. The staler the better.

Thanks! How old are your chicks smith2?

I have many chicks of different ages, but I try not to feed mine treats until about 12 weeks. The little chicks will eat Cheese Nips, too. They love to scratch in the crushed crackers. I just don't feed them too much of that "junk" food.

My girls are health food addicts. They haven't touched the tortilla chip I dropped.

Couscous, cherries, & cheese are all favorites though!
