I make my girls a homemade flock block....they are loving it!!!!

 

[fishnet1971]

oh... do give recipe!

lololol. That's a great idea!

My chickens really love cabbage but were very suspicious of the tether ball setup. Very disappointing!

When I put the cabbage on the ground, they jumped on it.

Some scrambled eggs.... Go nuts!

Hehehehehehehehehehehe, somehow this just seems so wrong! (but I love it). I'm just learning with my chickens and other than strawberry tops and bugs, haven't really given them much "people" food. Finding out i can give them most of what I have been sticking in the compost! Thanks! Anything specific I should know NOT to feed them?

What about celery? I'm not sure about it being that it is so stringy.

No worries...those sharp beaks of theirs will make quick work of celery, strings and all. This morning, my chickens got leftover chicken (nobody they knew)

, a couple of bananas, some rolled oats, plain yogurt, tomato cores and tops, and some crushed up egg shells.

i have done the cabbage from a string in the ceiling in the winter time and they were pretty funny about it. But it didnt really move that much. I missed it I am sure. Put it out at 8AM, and by 5:30 it was non existant.

Leftover chicken??!!!??? That is as funny to me as feeding them eggs. I just can't bring myself to do that. Yet. Just found out I could feed my chickens other-than-feed-foods...who knew? So today, they got figs, okra, oats, lettuce and bread. They have eaten bugs and strawberry tops, but that is it. So will be interested to see if they ate the "treats" I left out there when I go check on them later. Yes, I'm learning... This is all very new to me!

It is great that they are such good garbage disposals. Mine had waffles and yogurt this morning.
