Oatmeal?

Second question, what do you put non feed food into to feed them? I gave them yogurt off a spoon

For anything solid, just toss it on the ground.

Something like oatmeal or yogurt (which I seldom have enough "extra" to feed in quantity) goes into a rubber bowl or a disposable aluminum serving tray.

If you give them eggs, make sure it's not too often! They will, if they lay, crack open their own eggs to eat!

lol I thought raw. Apparently, I don't know how to read either.

Nah, they won't recognize scrambled eggs as egg that they lay but they will recognize them as something tasty

I like that! For "non-feed food" I use plastic bowls. If you have a dollar tree you can get a pack for $1.00. I'm cheap! They are fairly wide and don't flip over too easy. I split up treats like eggs into several bowls then spread them out - makes for a little less drama.

Any container will work though

On cold mornings mine get oatmeal with brewers yeast, turmeric and crushed garlic mixed in, with mealworms sprinkled on top.

I'm really cheap i guess. LOL, I just use a spoon and lob it onto the ground.

Whenever I think of chickens eating eggs... Sound to me like humans eating fetus in China... I know lots of people recommend it but I actually prefer to give them fish, usually the left over of steamed trout we ate or a bit of canned Tuna (in the end even if it has soy, chickens eat grains so I figure soy won't hurt them), whenever I give them fish I see they are more satiated and calm, they also scour the field less and rest more.

My wife loves to feed our chickens uncooked oatmeal mixed with Greek yogurt. They love it.
