Live minnows or crickets for my chickens?

[Jenbirdee]

so I told my son I was going to buy live minnows for my ducks, and he asked if I was going to give any to the chickens? Then i thought about getting some live crickets for the chickens so they could have some fun too!
Good idea?

My birds love minnows and crickets! As far as if it's a good idea, I'm not sure. I've never heard of anyone else giving their chickens these.

I've given freeze dried minnows, & shrimp mix treats made for chickens for mine before. I can imagine live fish would be more entertaining for them though.

That’s good redneck fun

I know someone who's chickens catch minnows in their creek. @RebeccaBoyd advice?

Live crickets are entertaining for chickens.

My flock find crickets when I let them out to free range. Although they end up catching all sorts of bugs, scorpions, salamanders, and centipedes.

I have 2 to 3 inch scorpions in my yard sometimes, they sometimes find there way in the house also.
