Leftovers!

[AntiqueB]

Thanks. I wanted to make her as happy as possible whilst she was broody so she wouldn't give up! Pippin is an italian chicken at heart!
I'm glad I did feed her her favourite foods, since now she'll have to eat chick food for a few weeks. She's so happy with the new babies

Ha! My girls think chick food is a treat!

I always think I will eat the leftovers for lunch, but that never happens, as I often skip lunch.

I am the only one in the house who will eat them, so they usually end up in the garbage.

Instead of the garbage you could put them in a compost pile or something like that IDK just an idea.

Depends on what it is.

Most often its forgotten in the fridge.

Unless its really good stuff. Leftover pizza always gets devored, so does dessert, and thanksgiving/holiday leftovers.

but like leftover pasta or whatever is forgotten

Honestly, the first 3. (But I could only select two)

If they’re good leftovers, I eat them

If they’re not my favorite, I find it a few weeks later when I’m cleaning out the fridge.

If the chickens can eat it, I give it to them, though I usually don’t think to give them food like soup or meat. But salad is good for them.

Usually ,reheat leftovers into a new meal. Usually a soup.. Pot roast makes a good base for soup/stew.
Veggies get made into a casserole or soup. Coleslaw-rinse the dressing off in a colander, add to cabbage soup.
I try to change the leftover into a new meal.

My chickens especially like italian food like pizza and pasta. They also like to have leftover Mc Donald's! They aren't picky though, they'll eat anything!View attachment 2719916

Oh my. Please please spend a few days reading through the emergency section of this site and you will see what happens when people feed too many treats.

You are not doing your bird any favors by feeding her what in this dish.


Treats take away from a balanced diet.
Age appropriate commercially made feed is formulated as a BALANCED complete diet for the birds.


Treats no matter what kind should never be more than 10% of a bird's daily diet.
10% is such a tiny amount... Think one spoonful size. What you have in that dish in front of this bird is enough to feed 20 birds a treat for one day.

You are smart.

PSsttt...meat would better than salad.
