What is your chickens' favorite treat?

[Mary Of Exeter]

Anything

Mine LOVEEEE the leftovers from the garden in the fall. All the tomatoes, cucumbers, corn, and squash that we don't eat, they get. Doesn't take them long to finish that. They'll also pick watermelon rines clean until there's only a paper thin layer left

So I'd say tomatoes and watermelon is their favorite. Besides bread, of course.

I just gave all 16 of my chickens their very first taste of tuna, a whole can of yummy Albacore.

The adults and the wee ones (3 weeks old) loved it immediately. The 6 week old chicks looked at it for a while before giving it a try, then they chowed down. And the 6 week old Cornish Rocks, the pigs of the chicken world, wouldn't touch it.

This.

Mmm. Scrumptious.

Mine love grubs! Earthworms, not so much.

BREAD! Do you think that wiping their beaks on the ground means they don't like it? We are expirementing.

They ate it right?! LOL The wiping of the beaks is because they have no napkin! It gets the juicy stuff off so they feel good about their manners and go about scooping up other goodies!

My girls really love a whole tomato with holes poked in it (so they can rip it apart better), & it is really fun to watch them it--there are only 2 of them and they can devour it in about 20 mintues! Also, they love oatmeal mixed with plain yogurt, which they really seem to enjoy slinging all over me when it gets on their beaks.

My ladies do love their mealworms. I am having a hard time finding them, though.
