I didn't think sugary fruit would be too healthy for them. But thank you for your suggestion

its not necessary sugary

I looked it up, and you are correct. I'm sorry, it's just that all the dried fruit I ever see in my store says: Sugar added etc.

Last summer my ladies used to line up at the garden fence when I was picking my cherry tomatoes! I didn't give them too many, maybe one for each. They loved them!

When you guys feed these treats, do you notice a difference in egg-laying?

His name is beau and he is. An American short hair main coon mix and let me tell you he is a spoiled brat!

Anytime Treat: Ants on a Log
this recipe is a remix of one of my favorite snacks, only... I use peanut butter instead of yogurt (we had a LOT of yogurt in my fridge, so I used it) and never put oatmeal on it.


Ingrediants:
Celery (a long piece or a few short pieces)
Low fat plain greek yogurt.
Steel cut oats (or just regular oat meal)
a handful of Raisins.


Instructions: Fill the celery's hole/well/whatever you want to call it with yogurt. Sprinkle the yogurt with steel cut oats. Place raisins on celery in a neat row so they look like ants on a log. (Or just throw the raisins on it)

in the summer, you could probably put real ants on it. I bet the chickens would like it better
