Hi! I’ve got a couple questions. My girls are 7-8 weeks old. Their main food source is still chick starter feed. I’ve read about “treats” to give chickens but my girls do not like them. Meal worms: No Tomatoes: No strawberries: No, pumpkin, cucumber, bread no no no. They love cooked green beans, and watermelon but that’s it. I know it’s not necessary but I’d like to add variety. Do y’all have any suggestions?
I was reading about chicken scratch and it seemed ok. I bought a SMALL bag just to see if the girls liked it, they liked it ok but, their crops were huge! Bigger than when they eat only their feed and forage. Was I just imaging that? I’m not going to do the scratch anymore, what are y’all’s thoughts? @nuthatched you seem to be a hardcore voice of reason, please feel free to chime in.
