Christmas poultry treats?

[PioneerChicks]

Anybody give their chickens special treats for Christmas? I have some homemade flockblocks and normally make them some sprouts and plain popcorn, but I'm looking for new ideas!

No, nothing special.

Just the usual vegetable trimmings, unwanted leftovers, and bones to pick over.

Man is this awkward. My chickens cannot see the neighbors Christmas lights and I have not even told the chickens Christmas is a thing! So probably no presents but they have just come through moulting and they get no grass or bugs at all right now. Protein supplements to their ration are just a good idea right now. I am making mash with skim milk and whey, alfalfa pellets and some sunflower seeds on the side. I am also going to pick up some hempseed oil cake this weekend because it is supposed to be one of the best sources of protein.

I need to find some treats tobmake for the chickens. I make them sald sometimes with grass and all the safe veggies I can find around the house.

Mine prefer Boxing Day…that’s when they get the leftover turkey carcass (after it’s been used to make stock).

Always. I give my birds theirs on Christmas Eve, so a day early.

My birthday is on Boxing Day.

I don't even know what Boxing Day is, but it sounds fun!

Is that a chicken newsletter? That sounds like something I'd ask for.
