Hi there, anyone have any mixes of human foods they give to their chickens? for instance, I have one where I take Yogurt, chopped broccoli, and chopped grass and mix it together.... Please share!

I mix my own feed with organic grains & seeds and I ferment it, then before feeding I mix in salt, chili powder, dried milk and garlic powder. I happen to have some broccoli greens that I will chop up and mix in as well. I will do that with baby spinach sometimes too. I always give them my kids' left over eggs if they don't go to the dogs.

On hot days, I refrigerate a watermelon, cut it down the middle. Place it out and watch the action! They are all like old time telegrapher's ticking away! Beep beep beep beep!

During heat waves, I place the Mellon in the freezer for a few hours! It is an icy treat in brutal heat!

That is a great idea! I just got two, small very yuck watermelons-they taste like zucchini. I think I will try this with my last one! Thanks farmer Connie!

I make bird pancakes , egg,pancake mix,instant mashed potatoes,oatmeal,water and laying pellets. Sometimes I add squash or fruit. Then cook in fry pan. My chicken loves her little cakes

We live in Florida. Watermelon is a weed almost. During season they are cheap. I visit roadside stands and talk the guys out of the ugly stuff.. Our swine love me too!
