WriterofWords - don't you know? There's no real chicken in McNuggets, so your chickens aren't being canabalistic at all!

Mine are absolutely bonkers for grapes!
Fortunately they have a great grapevine covering a third of their run so in the fall they have fun picking their own!!

They are bitterly disappointed with any treat that isn't bread (yogurt, cottage cheese, raspberries, etc.)

Soaked oats. Oats soaked in water for a day. My birds went crazy over them.

Mine love cold watermelon, carrots, grass, and any greens. I also love to take a whole cabbage and hang it from the top of their coop and they spend all day chasing it trying to get their share.

Mine love yogurt and sour cream. It's hilarious to see them with their beaks covered. I was told to be careful because too much dairy could upset their digestive systems, but no sign of that here. They also love sliced cucumbers and banana bread, but their all time favorite is canned cat food. They eat it off my fingers!

Quote:
the bacteria in the yogurt won't hurt them so give it to them. It is totally different than "dairy".

Our girls love:
- Watermelon - 13 hens ate 1/2 a watermelon in one day.
- Grapes - sort of funny watching them fight over who gets the next grape
- Yogurt
- Popcorn
- Scrambled Eggs
