im just curious what you guys feed your chickens as a snack not counting pellets or crumble.
I feed my chickens everything and anything I feed them watermelon and squash, sometimes tomatoes, strawberries or blueberries
 
Favorites around here are tomatoes, meal worms, lettuce, watermelon, and bananas. Beyond that they do eat just about anything. If I trim my garden plants they sift through it, if I mow the lawn they mow down, etc. They're little piggies

lol I tried feeding meal worm to my chickens and they just refuse to eat it and my chickens love bananas too!
 
I got my white leghorns from an acquaintance a while back and recently she asked how I get them to follow me around because they were so terrified around her. I told her meal worms. My entire flock almost explodes from happiness when I pull out the bag (ducks and all). According to her the leghorns would turn their nose up to them, but here everyone mows down haha
 
Where do you get your mealworms? I did see the article about growing your own and I'm not doing that

I buy the big bag of Kaytee meal worms. They just started getting Happy Hen in my area, but its much more expensive. I've thought about trying to do it myself too. I saw the article and it had me thinking for a minute that maybe I could do it myself because we do go through a lot, but it was a quick minute.
