Chick crumb cake recipe?

[1234chicken4321]

Hi,

I have a lot of left over chick crumbs from raising my chicks earlier this year. My hens (including the fully grown chicks) aren't really a fan of the small crumbs and id like to use it up. Odd question, but I wondered if anyone knew of a sort of chicken friendly chick crump cake recipe that I could make to feed to the chickens so not to waste the crumbs?

Maybe just use peanut butter mixed with the crumbs and mold it in to shapes

Throw in some veggies too

If you type "homemade seed cakes" using the Search forums tool, you'll find quite a few recipes that might appeal to you. Here's one of them: #35

Have you tried just serving it wet - just add some water until it forms a thick oatmeal consistency. My chickens love wet leftover feed mush.

Mine do too. When the "bottom of the bowl" is just crumbs, I dump that in a bag. When there's enough to make some mash, I add water and take it out to them. It's going to get cold again soon, so it's going to be a morning warm treat.
