Good protein snacks

[gummybear24]

What are some good grazing food with lots of vitamins or proteins for chickens? We give them lettuces, strawberries occasionally, corn every now and then, carrots, kale and scrambled eggs. I would like a variety so any suggestions helpful

One way to get some protein and balance into treats is to give them some leftovers from your own meals. Canned mackerel is a relatively cheap protein source. BOSS, black oil sunflower seeds, have more protein than many other veg treats, and they love them, once they have tried them. I don't buy corn or scratch, I buy BOSS instead for a handy treat.

Here is our treats chart
