What treat did your chickies get today?

[Stephanie R]

Yesterday the girls got a little bit of leftover pork and a few egg noodles, a piece of cucumber and a few grapes, and late yesterday they got their first taste of pumpkin ... that was a HUGE hit.

The girls got to forage in the garden for the first time! Willow ate so many cherry tomatoes and finished the raspberries. Chickens seem to love messy, which the garden is now. So much fun!

Mine just had porridge (made with water) with some chopped up pears and a bowl of natural yogurt, for their breakfast.

This AM, about an hour after letting themout at daybreak and feeding them their layer pellets, I gave them some leftover Pizza Rolls the kids left out last night........ then when I was looking for some frozen chicken bones to make stock, I found an unmarked freezer bag, and thinking it was the bag of skin and bones I was looking for, popped it in the microwave to thaw....... when it beeped, I opened the door to ......... fish odor!

I had just thawed out a two pound section of common carp....... which has been in there.......?!?!?! I have not caught one of those this year..... or last!


I miked it for 4 minutes on high, broke it up with a fork, miked it for another couple of minutes ......set on the countertop to cool.

After an hour, I took it out to the tractor....... there were fights, and it was gone in about three minutes! It's not like they are starving- there's apples and cucumbers laying in there, and the feeder is still half full ........ never seen anything like it with these chickens......


Carp are so easy to catch...... looks like I have a reason to target them now.....

Today my girls got some cabbage, apple, and cucumber in their suet feeder, a little scratch and sunflower seeds on our walk around the property, and as many grapes as they could reach (which weren't many).
