I peel two ears of corn on the cob and cut it into 4 pieces each and give it to my 2 Rhode Island Reds (my polish died in March) 3 to 5 times a week. I do occassionaly give them a slice of Whole Grain Bread but very rarely. The also like to eat egg shells that I crumble very well and dry out a bit before giving it to themMany of us like to give our flocks a little treat now and then, beside their usual feed. So this week I would like to hear you all's thoughts on feeding treats. Specifically:
- At what age can you start offering chicks treats and how do you go about it?
- What treats do you give your flock?
- How much, and how often do you feed treats?
- What treats should NOT be given to chickens, or given in moderation?
- What are your flock's favourite treats?
