Treats for chicks

[Randomhero]

I microwave egg shells (I use a lot of eggs haha), crumble them up and toss on the ground and the ladies gobble them up!! There are a lot of Russian Olive trees (Nuisance) on the property, Spring thru Fall I chop branches off and toss them over the fence. The girls eat the red berries off the branches like they're going out of style, I also feed them to the goats. FYI they arent for human consumption, so dont try them before feeding to your animals! The birds also get veggie scraps after I cook a meal, minus onions.

How did you figure out the breed?

Any idea on the breed?

My birds (all ages) love chopped cantaloupe melon skins. Been feeding it for years. Does anyone else feed their flock this? I have a friend who feeds chopped banana skins....Chopped very fine in water. I tried it, but it turned brown before they ate it all and I was afraid of mold......Think I'll stick with the cantaloupe!

I just gave my chicks a handful of earthworms. OMG....too funny! They were scared for about 30 seconds until the runt went charging in. Then it became a frenzy.
