Chick treats??

[Ruffian]

Was wondering what kind of treats you feed. So far I have given my girls grapes (they LOVE them), watermelon, cantaloupe, blueberries and sweet corn (they clean the corn right off the cobb) Saw a post once that they like bread, but mine don't seem to care for it. Any other suggestions of what you give them? My girls are about 18 weeks now.

Mine enjoy all that you mentioned plus plain yogurt, bread is a favorite, and scrambled eggs. They like leftover oatmeal and pancakes too.

Our girls really like cherries, although we try not to give them TOO many, especially if cherries have the same effect on birds as they can on people. :O

My girls and Stews would live on tomatoes and bread if I let them. My daughter wants to make them tomato sandwiches every day!

mine get whatever is in season or leftovers. Today alone they got cat mint, swiss chard, lettuce, pea pods, raspberries, broccoli, and mac & cheese.

I take a big fat cucumber from the fridge and slice it in two and just place each one on the ground inside the run. In less than four minutes each of my two point-of-lay pullets has eaten her half cucumber clean, leaving just the shell. Looks like two perfectly shaped canoes. All those fat seeds and cold juicy flesh is perfect for them on a hot summer day.
