What are your favorite treats

Definitely left over spaghetti noodles are a hit with my Chickens and my Ducks. I think it's the wiggles from the noodles that they like more..:gig
Corn on the cob too is a favourite treat!...:frow

and the old spaghetti kinda clumps together and sometimes one will get the whole clump, then it's game on!
 
I have 11 mixed flock older hens (6 more new coming up but still separated for now)...they get fermented feed (they have dry available in a feeder all the time), free range so lotsa bugs and foliage, BOSS or mealie worms/grubs now and then, any kind of melon, tomato, chard/kale/spinach, LOVE peaches, cucumber, kiwi, chickpea noodles leftover from kiddo, and they especially love when there are bits of goat cheese left...they will knock you down. One night I dropped a bit of salted caramel cashew ice cream as I was lounging on the deck...omg...they begged and begged and begged for more.
 
I just added them to a home made scratch mix as treats...they do seem to eat them if they sprout, but they haven’t overall been a fan of sprouts and fodder. Maybe in the winter when there isn’t as much for them to find in the yard.
Sprouted ones over winter will probably be welcomed. I just don't bother. I feed Romain Lettuce and alfalfa pellets sparingly..
 
My Chico’s y Chicas eat everything. We give them leftovers from the kitchen, vegetables meats, spinach, cooked rice pasta etc. And scratch for breakfast. Also wheat bread in moderation.
In the evening I give them only scratch before settling them down in the coop. They also have their layerfood and free range all day.
