What treat did your chickies get today?

Yesterday mine got the remains of tomatoes and onions from the spaghetti sauce that I canned. Today they got grass clumps that my son and I pulled-- a couple were complete with roots and worms !!!
 
The older chickens got frozen applesauce/oatmeal cookies. In the brooder, the 10-day-olds played tear-the-giant-cockroach-to-pieces. It took them a while, but they ate the entire thing!
 
Smashed acorns!!! There are acorns ALL over the backyard, where they live, and the trucks/tractors run over them *the acorns, not the chickens*. Can chickens OD on acorns!?

On a side note, they're getting all the layer pellets they can eat. Bag had a hole in it, so there's layer feed all over the yard, too. It's not going to waste, though.

And in the brooder, the 12-day-olds continue their cockroach-a-rama! Also, they'll eat the camel crickets that get into the brooder.
