What treat did your chickies get today?

[PluckyJen]

I think I may try watermelon this afternoon . Alot of posts on here about how their flocks love it! Cold treat on a warm day

Sounds great. Hope it goes down like a bomb. Winter here so mine will get something warm perhaps.

Some warm mealworm soup, lol, they can have fun plucking the worms from the warm water

ugh, that really sounds gross.......haha

When I was first introducing my chicks to new foods, I would take something that they loved (flaxseeds or sesame seeds) and sprinkle it over the new thing. That would get someone to peck at it and once one did...well, monkey see monkey do...

I did intro them to a new food daily while in the brooder to avoid pickiness though. Knew they'd be free-ranging for (hopefully) a significant portion of their feed, plus I planted a section of garden just to feed them from. Gotta knock the feed bill down when feeding a large flock!

It is blackberry season so they were given fresh blackberries They loved them!

Another watermelon and BSF day for my little herd.

Tomorrow they will be all excited... I picked up a cantaloupe for a change.

Bucket of weeds + Japanese Beetles + a few ripe blackberries I found on my walk.
Some cantaloupe, apple and squash chopped finely into their mash.
