My chickens won't eat carrots, either raw or cooked. Go figure.

They'll eat apples... sometimes. They eat raw veggies from the garden and raw melons, so raw is good.

Here's a great guideline for chicken treats: https://www.backyardchickens.com/web/viewblog.php?id=2593-Treats_Chart

I feed my chickens scrap veggies from the kitchen both raw and cooked and they love them either way.
