What do you feed your chickens as a special treat?

[pontoosuc]

They love spaghetti, rice, spinach, lettuce, etc!

But,y ANY protein is the best:

turkey, chicken, lobster, tuna, beef, pork, any of them!!! they go bonkers.

the veggies and starch take second place (even over spaghetti)

Meat. Any kind. Especially if it's warmed up! Yogurt, cheese, apple cores, blueberries, noodles.

Got to say that my ladies favourite food is MEAT MEAT AND MORE MEAT!!!!!

Everything else takes second fiddle around here

Crazy chickens. Yesterday I gave them the leftover lamb!!!! It was a riot watching one of my Isa Browns carrying this lamb shank (must have been as heavy as she was) around so the other girls couldn't get the scraps! She couldn't lift it but she would drag it all over the yard and whenever one of them wouldcome around she would stick her tail feathers in their face and run backwards with the bone!!!! Too funny

Chickens are funny creatures

I got some of those mealworm treats and they love 'em

 

[nuchickontheblock]

meal worms, scrambled eggs, tuna and pomegranate seeds are the hands down faves at our coop.

# 1 is meal worms, then sunflower seeds (hulled of course), hard boiled eggs and just about any greens. Kale is their fav.

As a SPECIAL treat, they get popcorn. But their favorites are corn on the cob, cottage cheese, and pork... Or birdseed from the bird feeder.

When I get a dozen cracked eggs I either whirl them in the blender and scramble them or hard boil and crush them finely and feed them back to them. They love them. And I toss them a handful of cat or dog food a day for treats and extra protein (I have over 30 birds).

mine love a pan full of SNOW, they won't go out in it but will clean it off you shoes or fight over a pan full

Mealworms are by far #1, grated cheese, pasta ...but today was sooo cold...made them oatmeal with raisins and yogurt - it disappeared in no time!
