Pale yoks?

There is a hugh amount of hooie out there about what a chicken needs, or wants, or gotta have.

Chickens are chickens and feeding them like they were a cud-chewing unglate like a cow, is pure BS.

Chickens kill a HUGE amount of grass but the amount of green stuff that they eat is small

I think you mean "Ungulate". Huh?

I give my chickens many things. Please don't get your panties in a wad. I don't give them all these things every day. Some only once every other month, ok? They love grapes, yogurt, lettuce, cabbage, grains, scratch, melons and ice! Because everything green is dead this time of year and it's 104 degrees I put ice in their water daily and feed them greens every week. They love ice cold cabbage when it's hot! Their yolks are orange and people love my chicken's eggs. I sell them! (Yes, I have a license to do so!) Oh, I see them catching lizards too! Last week one hen had a mouse, yuk.

Once my husband bought a large bag of carrots in the fall to use for deer hunting and didnt end up using them so i fed them to the chickens.
It took like 2 months feeding about 2 carrots a day. And wow my yolks were just as orange as the carrots at the end.

@50-45-1 How do you feed carrots to chickens...cut them up in tiny pieces....or.... just let them peck at them...or....?

yes..how? I have had some given to me to feed my chickens, (they had WAY too many) and they didn't like them.

Well this was in the late fall and starting to get cold and there was not much else for them to forage for. I just put them in a dish in the coop and in the evening they were gone except for the stem end.

So just the whole carrots and they pecked it down to nothing.
Will have to try that.

I suppose you could put it thru a grinder or schredder and they would not have so much work to eat it.
