Treats for Chickens

[neo71665]

Only treats mine get are any table scraps my coons don't like to eat. Other than that they only get their regular balanced diet.

Chickens don't get bored with feed, you get bored feeding them the same thing. As long as they are properly well fed they are happy.

My chickens get weeds, trimmings from vegetable preparation, picked over bones and stuff from when I make soup, occasional non-salty/greasy leftovers my family hasn't eaten, and their own feed made into wet mash.

Weeds are their favorite.

Thank you. I will save all my old vegetables for them. I gave them some peas and ground unsalted peanuts today.

I know some people object to this, but I like to give mine a little fish-based wet cat food in the winter as a treat and some extra protein.

The only objection I have is the local cats also want the wet cat food lol I have a girl that is in the middle of molting so I feed mine wet (salmon)cat food

Hello all. What are some good treats for chickens besides their normal feed? Mine love unsalted sunflower seeds but they can be hard to find. I also give them mealworms sometimes. I've been tomatoes, bananas and romaine, but they don't seem as excited for those. I feel bad when they only get regular feed for the day. I want to spruce their diet up more so they are happy.

My flocks favourite treats are wormies, scambled eggs, watermelon, blueberries, oatmeal, zucchini, cucumber, tomatoes, sqaush.
