What snacks DON'T or chickens like???

Our girls just had yogurt for the first time today and I couldn't believe how much they loved. I also couldn't believe how they managed to get covered in it. They also tried scrambled which they just pigged out on. They like all things red, cherries are a favourite and cooked beetroot and cooked red cabbage, they are nuts for tomatoes. They love all kinds of fruit especially if it has gone soft, they will leave apples until they are soft on the inside. I can't really get them interested in leafy greens. They do free range and eat lots of grass but don't really get excited for lettuce, kale or beetroot greens. They also had home made custard tonight which made them cluck, very cute.

Also we have orange and lemons trees in our yard, they never try to eat them. They seem to know what is ok and what they like.

My former flock I cared for I gave watermelon, lettuce, bananas, tomatoes, corn cobs, and bread.

Remember to give these as a treat. These are like cookies for chickens. Sometimes if you give them too much of a treat, they'll ignore their chicken food and demand treats instead.

My girls don't like citrus, bread, and cabbage.

Broccoli. Probably one of the few foods they haven't enjoyed. Oh and cabbage.

Mine LOVE pumpkins.

mine love lettuce, tomatoes, corn, they love sweet corn! hmm beet root, what else? different breads that are stale. we have a large garden and farmers markets

the garden is demonstrative to the youth and they loved my girls and sheldon

he only crowed early in the morning and when i wasnt there.but any scrapes from the kitchen go to them. ive had to go through the bucket to pull out any thing i knew could be poisonous. and threw it to the beasties in the woods.

Mine don't like potatoes, carrots, not too fond of lettuce. And when I try hanging food for their enjoyment,they just look at me like, "you must be kidding, put our food in the bowl where it belongs".

My coop is right under an old apple tree. My girls don't seem to eat them AT ALL!
