What do Yours Eat?

[Weeg]

Cantaloupe, scrambled eggs, fodder I grow for them.

But their FAVE by far is bananas! They go crazy for overripe bananas

Mine love bananas too! It’s great for their gut health. Feeds the good bacteria.

Mine love scrambled eggs, mealworms, any of the farmer's helper treats (especially hot cakes and golden nuggets!) cantaloupes, watermelon, ears of corn, birdseed, and any leftover bake goods. Of course even with being spoiled by all of those daily treats made just for them... they just loooove raiding my garden and eating all of our strawberries, squash, tomatoes, and they dug up and ate the onions we tried to plant. The fence is just there for looks I guess, lol!

They also LOVE to wait for me to feed our feral cat, Sam, and devour all of his cat food.

Gotta love them

bananas are a hit here, along with tuna, wet mash food and any melon/squash guts.

Oh, yes! Tuna and shrimp, too. I'll give them salad shrimp sometimes, esp during a molt.

Mine love frozen watermelon, mealworms/black soldier fly larvae, and wet feed. Anything I throw in the run they like (except lettuce.....they despise lettuce)

Hmmm tuna, I've never tried that

Chickens really are the best mousers. We couldn't get rid of the mice in our barn until we got chickens. The only mice I have seen since are dead ones dangling from their beaks.

Normal chickens maybe. Mine won’t get near one if their life depends on it.


This really proves how pathetic mine are.

Mine are definitely the opposite. It turns into the hunger games when one of my chickens catch a mouse and it runs off in some corner attempting to gobble it up before the others try to fight them for it.

Mine are definitely the opposite. It turns into the hunger games if one of them catches a mouse and the others see it. As soon as a chicken catches a mouse it runs off in some corner attempting to gobble it up as fast as possible before the others try to fight them for it.

Ha that's mine when they find a roach after I lift the waterer.

I wish ours did that. Our broody might attack it if she saw it close enough, but definitely not eat it.

I have 3 enemies.
Chipmunks
Squirrels
Mice

I am a all around animal lover, i care for animals with all my heart and would never hurt one, but if i see one of these i would have absolutely no problem getting a flaming pitchfork and holding them above the BBQ.

Its aggressive, yes, but they deserve endless suffering.
