When we had our 3 Plymouth barred rocks. they would literally eat dinner scraps like dogs! Though they are picky on certain things. They didn't like avocados, carrots, tangerines, strawberries. Which was weird because they usually like soft stuff any anything with corn in them. They go crazy in the summer for corn in the cob & watermelon rinds.
We're planning to get some more in the near future. We just need a really secure and large coop. We had three and two of them were attacked and killed by a raccoon within two days of each other. It was so awful! The 3rd chicken survived and we moved her to our aunts house. I miss not having them around when i have stale bread or crackers to give them, now i gotta throw it away. Luckily we have a compost and we dispose most scraps in there.
I remember them loving, lettuce, cooked spaghetti noodles, cucumbers, tortilla chips, shells, grapes/ raisins, raspberries, baked potato peels, bread, crackers (without preservatives or else it can make them sick.)

Do you feed your chickens coffee grounds? I've just started using a plunger again after many years and wondered whether or not it's safe to try them on the grounds. Also, I remember my grandmother throwing her tea bags in the chicken run, I've not tried it, but what's your opinion on that?

My chucks are not into carrots either, nor tomatoes, strawberries, plums, apples or apparently celery leaves!

My chickens love oatmeal, banana, lettuce, pumpkins, so far the only thing they did not eat was raisins. Meal worms they love for a snack to.

My chickens LOVE carrots, but they have to be shredded. They don't like them sliced as much. They also like tomatoes, but I have to cut them open first, they don't like picking through the skin. I usually just quarter them and toss them out. Now small tomatoes, like cherubs or cherry tomatoes, they will eat without being cut.

I saw a mention of coffee grounds and a plunger. Not exactly sure about the correlation to chickens and that. Can you clue me in? Also tea bags is another hmmmm item. My grounds and bags go in the trash, should I feed them to the chickens?

Regarding the coffee and tea, I'm just unsure whether or not to give the used coffee grounds and the used tea bags to the chucks. Do you know of any reason that they shouldn't like them, or have you heard of other chucks loving them? Maybe I'll just give them a go and see what happens!!!
