What is ok for chickens to eat as treats?

How many ladies do y'all have? How old are they?

Only 4 of them and they're 5 months old

I feed my ladies a 20% all flock with oyster shell on the side. They prefer crumbles. Everyone has their own way, you just have to figure out what works best for you and your ladies

Bugs, seeds and such. Fruits and veggies as well. An adult chicken will eat 1/3 to 1/2 cup daily of food. A cup is 16 tablespoons so 1/10 of half a cup is just under a tablespoon of treats per day per chicken.

I wouldn’t give my flock dairy foods, they aren’t able to process the lactose and there are better sources of probiotics made for them. If it’s for calcium then there’s oyster shell and layer feed has added calcium.

I let my flock free feed and topped up feeders as needed. Water should be changed every day.

Woah you did some serious math there
Good info though!

Honestly, there isn't a whole lot chickens can't eat. It's easier to say what they can't or shouldn't have. Some of those things are coffee grounds, beans, potatoes, avocados, green tomatoes, etc. A quick google search will tell you which foods to avoid.
