Hi everybody,
I wanted to know what are some healthy snacks for my chickens to eat, I have Serama's and I feed them Blue Bonnet game cock conditioner with oyster shells and grit. I have pigeons and they like greens and iceberg lettuce but they seem to be digging around in their shavings for bugs, I don't allow my birds 24 hour feed and I sweep up all spilled feed to avoid illness.
I heard they enjoy crickets but I think they would all get away, do they like meal worms? I would like to avoid anything that may carry parasites and illnesses as my birds have never touched bare ground, I have two broody hens that are 6 Months old and laying almost daily and one hen that has not yet started to lay.
Thank you for advice in advance, I know they are bored scratching around with no success.
