Leftover corn cobs, elderberries, Japanese honeysuckle flowers and berries, raisins, defrosted frozen corn, shredded purple cabbage, brussels sprouts leaves. Overripe peas shucked in front of them drives them batty. Sunflower seeds (that's their freezy weather treat).

Want to have some fun with the treats?
Give them a couple red noodle beans that are a little limp.
Drop them in the top of the run...my flock were leery at first, but then ganged up on the beans and had a great time conquering those nasty "snakes."

(The red beans sometimes have a greenish stripe which makes them look a little bit like snakes)

Mine enjoy pretty much anything!

They were a little leery at first when I hung a head of cabbage inside their run but now they attack it! They seem to like pecking at apples the most. I just cut an apple in two pieces and they peak at them till nothing is left. I have two huge apple trees in the yard so they get an unlimited supply.

Editing to add:

What they simply will not eat? Bananas! They turn up their beaks at them.

My girls love grapes, yogurt, watermelon, oatmeal, raisins...grass clippings! Lately I've been giving them frozen fruit (it all had freezerburn anyway) - peaches and mangos. All of it causes a complete frenzy. I love watching them eat, and I'm pretty sure I'm spoiling them rotten.

Their #1 treat, hands down, is freeze dried mealworms. They will come flying over from wherever they are when I get the container out. Other than that, they love watermelon, tomatoes, yogurt, oatmeal (cooked or raw), plain spaghetti, blueberries, strawberries, black raspberries, cantaloupe and cucumber. They are very happy now b/c we are giving them fruits and veggies from the garden.

My chickens LOVE popcorn! I have a popcorn machine and will pop some just for them. They come running and clucking when ever they see the popcorn bowl coming out
