What can I give my chickens for a healthy treat?

Welcome to the BYC!!!

For a healthy treat I give my chickens fruit and veggies, but they will eat almost anything. The only thing I wouldn't give them are: avocado peels and pits, raw potatoes and peels, raw onions, and chicken meat (I mean you could give them chicken, but that's weird). Basically, if you can eat it, chickens can eat it. Just keep in mind, too much of a good thing can still be bad.

Hi and welcome to BYC. I used a handful millet as a daily treat and that seemed to do the job. You may wish to take a look through these links -

Hello, and welcome! How many chicken's do you have, and what is the breed and ages of them?

Welcome to BYC! Chickens LOVE dried and live mealworms! Scratch is a good thing for them to. Make sure not to over feed them with these things. A treat is meant to be given only a few times a week, and not to replace their feed.

They will eat your (chicken safe) table scraps to! Save crushed eggshells to feed back to them, and you can even feed them whatever part of the egg your didn’t eat!

Hello, it's nice to have you here with us! @Pork Pie has already given you a link to the list I go by for treats...just keep them to a minimum or your flock will neglect eating their more nutritious feed.
