Treats?

[Roo on Harley]

Nuts, raisins, cornbread, oatmeal, etc...

Someone here suggested using suet containers to put produce in. I have a lot of lettuce from the garden, so I stuff the containers, and they peck at it until it is almost empty. Since they are still in the brooder - more or less - it keeps the scraps down to a minimum.

Just my opinion... but I don't give them anything I wouldn't give my own kids. Ie: bad parts of produce gets cut off, rotten spots on potatoes, etc. I'm just talking really nasty parts not slight wilting or bug-bites.

Yesterday my girls got a heaping bowl of chopped fresh cabbage and another bowl of chopped apple and whole-wheat bread cubes. Yum! See - I didn't allow my children to eat white bread (except very, VERY seldom) so the girls don't get it either.

This morning they got a small bowl of chopped raw potato and a big bowl of bread cubes with a can of baked beans stirred in.
Since I am out of work (15 MONTHS now!) friends keep giving me food from their pantries. Some is good, some is OK, some I have to be desperate to eat. Sigh.

So tried to give them some cantolope but they seemed scared of it, i just left it out to see if they would go peck at it. does it need to be all diced up or will the just peck at a slice of it?

and at this moment they are roosting right in front of the camera

The best way to a chickens heart is through its stomach.

 

[Chickens_in_a_nutshell]

Pumpkins, crickets/grasshoppers, tomatoes(make sure they're ripe), table scraps, bread, etc. They sometimes eat snakes.

Although it's sick, they do like (dun dun) ROAST CHICKEN...

I love chickens but they're little cannibals!
