What treats are y’all feeding your peas?

Raw shelled peanuts one at a time.

Oh boy, I'm going to get a lecture for this...
These things are not every day, and some are rare but: Fruit loops cereal, Mealworms, Peanuts, Cucumbers, Melons, Cracked Corn, Boiled Chicken Eggs, Grass Clippings, Pumpkins, Blueberries, Apples, Shredded Carrots, Cat food, Mulberries, and I think that's it.

I just pictured a bunch of overweight peafowl

It took me a number of years to figure out my deformed eggs were due to overweight hens.

 

[BirdsBeesTrees]

Lol, they are not fat!
I don't have any deformed eggs. Honestly if they stopped laying eggs, I'd be fine with that too. After I get some babies from my White Peahens paired with the Silver Pied Peacock from KsKingBee that is.

blueberries, dog food, lettuce and other greens, and watermelon. Do not give them cat food the sodium content in it is way to high.

Another treat my chickens love is Japanese knotweed, which is great because we've been overrun with the stuff since a hurricane some years ago. I cut armloads of the stuff every day for them, and they instantly overrun the piles and strip off the leaves. The only good thing about Japanese knotweed, an invasive plant here, is that it's high in resveratrol, which is good for the heart. I'm hoping some of that ends up in our eggs!
