What is you chickens favorite treat?

[bokboklady]

first and formost mealworms, they go crazy for them when they see the familiar white plastic box i keep them in, sweetcorn from a tin ( if sweetened with salt and sugar i rinse in cold water ), and a big bowl of cooked up greens ; brocolli, sprouts, and spud with a dash of brown bread, for when there isnt a lot of grass about, my girls love their greens, not forgetting of course scrambled eggs and spaghetti, the list goes on but these are the favourites

I don't know where to begin! They eat everything. But, I'd have to say that squash and cooked sweet potatoes are a real hit. Along with my flowers....

Is there anything they shouldn't eat?

 

[kla37]

I've heard they shouldn't have citrus and avocados. As for whatever they "shouldn't" have that may be in our yard, I don't think they care. They eat anything that can't move faster than they do.

Canned Mackeral probably at the top of the list, meatloaf right up there to. Don't forget the spaghetti and meatballs for favorites but they don't pass up much of anything and of course the Yogart,

Bacon fat, watermelon, sweet corn

how the heck do you give them bacon fat ?????? hardened clumps or while its still liquidy ?????? my chickens eat everything i bring them with amazing fury ....however they had no interest in potato peels ....

 

[michickenwrangler]

They only get it in winter and I mix scratch feed in with it. On our cold Michigan days, it hardens pretty quickly.
