Giving Treats

[twitchratchicks]

I got some millet sprays for my chickens but they aren't interested in them at all. Neither are the younger chicks. What is a good treat to give them. The free range but I give them starter in a feeder (they are 12-14 weeks old).

Mine love bread, cracked corn (scratch), and green veggies.

Mine have had a boiled egg everyday since I first got them. They love broccoli, dry oatmeal, peaches, cottage cheese, bread , corn raw or cooked, tomatoes , watermelon, macaroni and cheese is a huge favorite!!!.I would say if its good for you its probably good for them too. From reading the experienced "Chickateers" posts no nos would be sweets and salty stuff

This chart gives you what treats are good for them. At the bottom, it tells you what not to give them.

My girls love bread, rice, strawberries (which they steal from the container while I am picking!), spinach pulled right out of the garden...chickens like alot of things & some are finicky...so check the chart everyone is referring to (pay attention to the forbidden foods) and have some fun watching them as you offer variety!!
