What Special Treat or Yummy Did Your Flock Get Today?

[socks]

Actually came here looking for what treats to give them in hot weather. I wasn't sure frozen was a good idea but lots of people seem to be doing it so I might just give them some of that frozen corn I usually thaw (then again there was something about corn raising their body temperature a while back....). They have been getting quite bored with the black sunflower seeds I have given them ( a small handful) every day (just bought a huge bag actually

) so I have realized that like me they get bored with the same food. Today my husband saw them eating the newly formed rose hips. Happy to see they will be getting their vitamin c so we picked some for them and our rooster gave his 'Hey girls this is the good stuff' chortle.

thanks for all the ideas.

Refrigerated, cut up zucchini and cucumber. The cuke was a bigger hit than the zucchini, but they cleaned out all of the zucchini seeds. I also have some frozen veggies that I'll give them in a bit.

Yesterday they had some bolted broccoli and an almost ripe tomato that had a big bad spot.

Yesterday they got watermelon, whole oats (these seem to be the favorite treat right now), alfalfa leaves and some mashed taters. I thought they would really like the taters but they didn't seem too excited about them. The bowl was empty by morning though. LOL

Mine got leftover pork. It's the first time I've given them meat and they had a great time with it. This afternoon I made applesauce and they got a bunch of apple cores.

I had a huge bowl of macaroni salad left over from a company picnic. The salad had noodles, grapes boiled eggs all held together with mayonaise. It was not particulary tasty for mankind, but the chickens thought they had died and gone to chicken heaven.

Today they got an ear of corn and some watermelon. Man, they can clean off an ear of corn like a bunch of piranhas!
