what is your chicken's weirdest treat?

[HobbyChickener]

Just for my amusement I will throw 4 or 5 walnut sized green tomatoes in the pen with them. One will grab one and run like heck away from the others and the will all play the same game for 20 or 30 minutes until a tomatoe gets opened up and then the feast is on!

Mine love small snakes, which is weird because they dont like worms!

Banana, mice, snakes, grubs, moths and rice.
My dog and BR LOVE bananas , but the other ones don't really care.
They love mice.
They're either picky or hungry.

My girls love cherries. They start jumping when they see them in my hand. They also love cantelope and fresh corn. Cherries are by far the favorite. My barred rock hen jumps the highest and will steal from the others if they are not quick.

PB&J They jumped up and took it right out of my mouth. OUCH. Next time I'll make them their own and stand while I eat mine. They also thought Diet Coke was rather interesting

I'm loving reading this thread. The way you guys write it's funny to think you are talking about chickens. I don't think we have a weird treat around here. They get veggie and fruit scraps and they love it all. My kids love to feed them worms.

I scoop out a watermelon for my (human) kids, then put the rind 'bowl' in their run. They peck at it until it's an empty shell. Keeps them busy for hours.
Also, frogs (ew)!, marshmallows, cheese, coffee(just a sip)
