FINALLY!!! found a treat they like!

[Rooneytune]

I have tried everything for my little girls, grapes, strawberry, melon, lettuce, blue berries, broccoli, millet sticks, with NO interest from them...

I really wanted them to think of me as the barer of all things good not just the crazy lady that keeps putting weird stuff in our dish. I finally found something they love!!!! Dandelion leaves!! The just grab them and start running around!! whoo hoo something they like!

That's a GREAT use for dandelions!

wow really? i just go to a bait shop and get crickets. but kudos

Glad you found something they like!

mine love the grapes, but they wouldn't eat them until I cut them in half and put one in thier little beaks! then they realized how good they were!

Yeah, so much for "trash disposals" huh? Mine seem to love meal worms, grubs or anything of that sort. As far as kitchen scraps. So far, nada. I have my own garden, and have offered chard, peas, greens, flowers, etc. Only meal worms get me any love.

I took them some pea soup. I got the "Whatchoo talkin' 'bout Willis?" expressions from them. No sale.

Good for you finding a treat!!!

The first "treat" we tried were some lettuce pieces--not interested. Then my husband suggested the cherry blossom cuttings in a vase that I'd forced to bloom. Apparently, they're delicious!

My 2+ week olds love the boiled eggs. They go crazy on the plate. Does anyone know if scrambled eggs would do the same?

 

[koakritters]

mine are not interested in anything! not even eggs.

i keep trying and trying... the one found and ate a spider today on her first adventure outside though... but i'm NOT buying spiders for her amusement... knowing my luck they'd breed in my room and i hate spiders!!!

Watermelon is the treat of choice in our yard. They love it, especially in summer when I take it from the fridge and put it down for them. Happy happy happy chicks.

My chickens think they're pigs because they'll eat anything. A favorite for them though is plain air popped popcorn, no salt.
For the messy treat, I use cottage Cheese and Blueberries, put it down and run though, they get messy!

Good luck
fining a treat they like.
