What snacks DON'T or chickens like???

My two outside will eat mostly anything, except a plain dunkin's donut apparently

They also, don't seem to like fresh eggs only store bought

, my baby inside almost doesn't like ANYTHING but her pellets! She will take a nibble of something and then not touch it again, or give it a sniff and then shake her head fiercely as if to say "aww yuck! Get it away!"

I do like to make the outside two oatmeal some mornings with a little molasses and a dash of ginger, they LOVE that.

As a response to the upper post, mine would go nuts for broccoli as babies, but aren't as into it anymore.

I have a sneaking suspicion that my chickens are actually very tiny goats in disguise.

They once came up to peck at and sample my dog's fuzzy, wagging tail...

They didn't really care for that... So... I marked dog tails off the list of treats.

My chucks hate broccoli with a passion, but all their veggies have to be cooked before they'll touch them, fuss pots,

Mine love watermelon and cucumbers in the summer and oatmeal in the winter

They're obsessed with raisins, but hate craisins. When I mix the two together they'll actually pick the craisins out and leave them
 
the guys at my pet chicken say citrus reduces egg laying. it is not poisonous but should not be fed in large quantities because it makes them require more calcium.

Mixed veggies cabbage,lettuce they are the excess scrap eating machines.. I call them my spoiled feathered ladies,, guess just lucky... I did read once no,citrus because it can,be poisonous...


Farmer Kev:

~IF ONLY today's homo sapien society would even borderline exclusively consume the foods listed on your chickens' ”scrap menu”--in which they are so very fortunate, btw, to have provided to them by their clearly caring parent (& if all or most were organic)--today's society would, by default (esp. considering every advancement re health/medicine to date), live in a virtually disease free world...which would imply health & would, in turn, equal happiness.
