Recipes for your chooks!

[mychookschick]

Hey everyone...

I just thought it would be really cool to start a "recipe book" or so to speak for our chooks! So, I decided to start a thread for people to post their recipes to... LOL The ones for your chooks, anyway!

Therefore, POST AWAY!

Thanks so much... I know this will be helpful to me and hopefully to others!

My chooks favorite winter snack (this is to be shared by 15 hens and 2 roosters):


6 chopped, boiled eggs

3 chopped apples

1 cup of black oil sunflower seeds (BOSS)

Any whole wheat sandwich crusts that might be available from the human's dinner table




My wife or I chop up the boiled eggs and apples and put them in a bowl. We then mix in the cup of black oil sunflower seeds. We add in any (whole wheat bread only) sandwich crusts that might be left over from peanut butter sandwiches, and any chopped up kitchen scraps (like outer leaves of the cabbage head).

Mix all of this up really good, and then put it into paper plates, and put at least two paper plates of the mixture in the larger chicken yard (for 12 hens and 1 rooster) and the other paper plate of the mixture in the other area for the smaller flock of three hens and one rooster.


Make sure to remove the paper plate after they eat the snack, cuz otherwise, they'll eat the paper plate too!

Today I tried something new. I mixed a cup of cooked oatmeal with a can of pumpkin puree and added a handful of raisins. It's so darn cold I figured they'd appreciate something to warm their tummies. It was a big hit, and most of it ended up in their mouths rather than flung around the coop.

My chickens enjoy: 3 chopped hardboiled eggs, 2 spoons of yogurt, 1 cup cooked oatmeal, shredded venison roast and 4 drops Franks Hot Sauce. Thoroughly mix and serve on their own dish. Stand behind tractor so as not to be covered in flying food. Wait 30 seconds, peek and see if all gone. If not, it will be in the next thirty seconds!

A couple tablespoons of honey in 1/4 gallon of warm water. Careful, they'll drink it all.

I buy at Sam's those huge containers of spring greens then add a can of tuna or salmon any other fresh fruit and veggies place in the coop and run. They love it.
