This just makes me realize how much I miss my chickens we had before the fox attack...and how much I am soooooo lookin forward to the new chicks arriving in April!!!!
I think they just suggest that baby chicks don't get bugs. I have no idea why, but I've always been told that about the babies. Now grown chickens, it's fine. Mine love crickets
Mine have gotten both bread and hot dogs and seem fine. Hot dogs, salami, bacon and bratwurst seem to be some of their favorites. I swear they enjoy food as much as I do.
