He gives treats to the ladies throughout the day, but he chows down at mealtime. He especially loves the cooked mash I make with rice, barley, quinoa, oatmeal, peas, flax, grated turmeric and black pepper. (Black pepper increases the curcumin uptake from the turmeric -- which is the antioxidant and anti inflammatory compound). I've read some solid studies about the benefits of turmeric for chickens, and we grow a lot of it here on the farm, so it's an easy add to their feed.Lucio is one fine Rooster. I'd keep the little general well fed as he earns it.
