What are some good treats that the chickens will actually eat?

[stephhassler]

My son loves holding all the chickens and cuddling with them. I think it is a good time to give them a few tasty treats while he has them. But they don't seem to like anything I've offered. I have tried peanuts, grapes, watermelon and even cooked potatoes. They refuse to eat anything. Any ideas on treats they won't be able to resist?

Mine love cottage cheese, shredded cheese of any sort, yogurt and oatmeal.

They are little raptors and will eat almost anything.

yogurt and applesauce mixed with their crumbles. They LOVE it and it's good for them too.

Let's all say Hey, it's Spagetti!

My RIRs love spagettii and meat sauce, especially if it has diced tomotoes in it. ALL Gone in Minutes.

mine LOVE the hop clover weed, and squash (cut up real small) and the seeds of any squashes, and cottage cheese! They're not big on lettuce. Oh yeah, corn on the cob too!

Bread, pasta, watermelon, cantaloupe (even the part with the seeds), strawberries, plums, nectarines, cucumbers, cheese, parsley (I chop it up for them) and catapillars. (I pick them off my fruit trees in the spring)

I gave them a fig yesterday and they looked at it like it was a foreign object.
