We keep a "chicken bucket" in the kitchen and all veggie scraps go into that.
Our birds stay in their yard, so any and all "weeds" we pull from the garden go over their fence and are readily consumed.
Among those, the real "treats" are Chick Weed and Purslane.
They also get a generous scoop of scratch (cracked corn, barley, etc) every day and seem to relish it.
Not for the squeamish, but the one thing they go crazy over is the occasional mouse I manage to catch in their feed bins. They literally fight over who gets the "prize".
Any mouse dumb enough to show up before curfew is like,
