No way chickens will drink beer??? I tried giving beer to the geese, but they didn't drink it. I thought the sight of drunk geese would be well worth a few beers. Oh, well!

My gals got shredded carrots today.

Porridge with flaxseed, Farro wheat, blueberries and I threw in some eggs that cracked when I slipped in the snow.

My chickens will drink beer but why waste a beer on the chickens, blueberries yes, beer no LOL

Mine got Oatmeal. Tonight leftover stew. I'm a little concerned tho because they don't seem to want to eat their layer food. I've tried cutting down on treats. HELP!

I'm having the same trouble and attribute it to too many treats.
My hens have become way too picky. I realized I had to get them back on their crumbles so they would have a balanced diet.
I dampen their crumbles, microwave it for a bit just to warm it and fluff it with a fork. Initially I stirred in a few raisins too. Apparently this is more appealing than the dried crumbles, they'll eat it. I have noticed they are a bit more inclined now to eat their dry crumbles when the moistened food is gone.
I think they will hold out for treats, but I've been advised that when they get hungry enough they'll eat their feed.
Good Luck!
