What snacks DON'T or chickens like???

I found that my girls don't like raw asparagus. I cut up the ends and threw it out in the morning. It was still there that night.

Nothing, my chickens like Everything. Which is sometimes a problem because they even like things that will kill them and yes I probably haven't tried them on everything but they have eaten every thing so far, and they are well fed so it's not like they are eating it to feed themselves.

My chickens are like my human kids. I can't seem to get them to eat any vegetables. Maybe that's because they free range(the chickens that is). They seem to like everything else. Their favorite treats are oatmeal, bread, and mealworms. We just tried giving them a piece of our gingerbread house (without the candy on it) yesterday, and they loved it.

I think you can pretty much be sure, when they don't eat something, it isn't because they arent hungry!

Funny, my girls LOVE zucchini, and greens of any kind. The only thing they don't go for is carrots (I feed those to the guinea pigs), and pineapple - my daughters gave them pineapple peel once and they didn't even sniff it! I spoil mine with warm oatmeal with a handful of mealworms in it for breakfast in the cold mornings - wow do they come running!

My chickens do not like pumpkin, roasted pumpkin seeds nor strawberries

Citrus isn't good for chickens, so steer away from that.



Carrots, cucumbers and zucchini--- not yummy

Peaches, pears and apples--- to-die-for 

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

Mine LOVE pumpkins. 

That's so interesting! Mine love cucumbers.

They just ignore lettuce.

Asparagus. Even soft cooked leftover asparagus.

I've heard about citrus not being good for chickens but have yet to see anything to truly substantiate it (beyond most chickens turning their nose up to it). Some fruit seeds and pits, like apples, mangoes, peaches, and bitter almonds, have trace amounts of cyanide compounds. I feed my hens the occasional leftover grapefruit or orange I'm done chewing on for breakfast, sans the seeds. They seems to like the white part of the inner skin more than the leftover pulp.

My hens love bananas but don't particular care for collards or Brussels sprouts.

Today I tossed a couple pieces of leftover peeled shrimp from New Year's Eve out to them and they went bonkers, which is totally opposite of what they did when I tried giving them some freeze dried shrimp from the Asian market (was test driving different protein source treats) several weeks ago. They ran the other way.

I still give them citrus. Never had any issues. I left a pineapple out there and they eventually ate it up.

mine don't like strawberries, but they will eat the strawberry tops, eventually.....silly chickens!
