What treat did your chickies get today?

[eviemethugh]

Barley, frozen watermelon, cucumbers and strawberries. Plus some apples that have been falling off the tree...we put them in whole and they chase them around pecking while they roll.

A big ol bowl of oats, corn, beans, carrots,red pepper flakes, and some nutritional yeast! Today we are going all out to make up for crappy wet
weather.

Is feeding chicken to chickens normal? Seems kinda cannibalistic to me...is there some sort of nutrition they get from it or just a "treat"?

My 4 little ones got apples, bananas and blueberries.

Cooked meat is good for chickens, it's high in protein. Chicken is no exception even though it seems wrong.

Mine eat meat scraps of every kind. They don't seem to know the difference and nothing ever goes to waste. They will pick the bones cleaner than I can ever get them, even when cooking the carcass for broth. And, the extra protein is good for them.

It makes sense, in all reality whats the difference between scrambled eggs and chicken bones anyway! I have yet to feed my chickens these things in a fear that it is wrong but i guess i can start.
