What treat did your chickies get today?

Meal worms, bread and sweet feed.

My girls had tuna this morning as a treat and later this afternoon they will get some tomatoes and courgette- they all got a cuddle too

my broody is currently tucking into some baked beans. she's been sat on eggs for a few weeks now and she needs a boost. I put a small bowl of left over spaggeti hoops in front of her yesterday and she ate them all, so today she has an unlimited supply of beans. easy to eat, tastey and nutritious. hatch day is tomorrow.

sure will post pics, I think there's only going to be one which is disappointing as I bought 6 eggs.

mine got watermelon and cantalope. They just love the melons. And they help keep the chickies hydrated when it is hot out. Every single chicken i own races to the spots i put out the melon slices. 2 days later the rind has been pecked to rice paper thin-ness. Oh how I just love these birds.

Mine got leftover green beans, watermelon seeds, and whatever else was in the bottom of the compost pail, along with their fermented feed which I topped off with plain yogurt and cantaloupe. As they were not inclined to leave their coop at 5:30am, which is what time I had to go out and feed them in order to get to work early today, I didn't get to see them attack their food but I'm pretty sure when I get home this evening there won't be anything left but a few melon rinds that have been pecked clean.

As for someone's question a page back regarding feeding potatoes and tomatoes. I don't feed my chickens the tomato or potato plants however, they routinely get all the damaged or overly ripe tomatoes from my garden and they get cooked potatoes. I haven't had any raw potatoes to feed them but it's my understanding that it is only the green peeling that you need to worry about. The most fun I have is to throw cherry tomatoes into the run and watch them play their version of chicken rugby with them. I watched one of my hens literally knock another one down to get the tomato the other day. Hilarious and free entertainment!
