Tuna!

[BrewedInNh]

We feed them leftover lobster bodies whenever we have any. Ours eat salamanders, slugs, and tadpoles from the little watering hole next to our property.

Everyone loves our eggs.

So, I made fish today. Whole trout. I have the leftover heads and bones and skin. I ground it all up in the food processor and stuck it in the fridge. Tomorrow, I plan to give it to the girls. That's okay, right?

I love the Chick Rugby....mine loved the popcorn shrimp they had tonight, only because my daughters eyes were bigger than her stomach.

Once a week, I mix a can of tuna with cooked ramen noodles and my silkies go into a feeding frenzy that would scare sharks away. The tuna is a great, non stinky, high protein food that substitutes for meat in a wild chicken's diet. The noodles (broken up before cooking) remind them of worms and they play keep away with them. Way better than computer games!!!!

How funny! I am going to have to try this. I never thought of giving tuna to a chicken. Wow, I have so much to learn.

This is so funny! Now I can't wait to start giving my chickens Ramen noodles. I didn't realize chickens were such good little garbage disposals.

Oh gosh, those ramen noodles, what a great idea!! Chickens are so amusing!

Don't make the ramen noodles with the flavor packet! It's Waaay too much salt and no telling what kind of chemical additives. So I throw the packet away, then crunch up the dry noodles in the wrapper, microwave them in some water until soft and there you have it: Instant Worms!

Also, I get canned mackerel at the Family Dollar Store for about $1 per can. I alternate weeks, one with tuna, the next with mackerel. When they run tuna on sale 2/$1.00 I stock up.

Sometimes I get creative and make cornbread with a can of drained mixed veggies cooked in it. That's always a hit.

Mine love tuna as well and I give it to them occasionally for a protein boost (water packed). I did read somewhere on here that it should be limited because of mercury content.
