What treat did your chickies get today?

deer heart and liver

I don't know if it's good for them or not but I have given my flock catfish food floating pellets. They LOVE it so I hope it's ok. The bag is too heavy for me to move to see what's in it.

Macaroni and cheese, cornbread muffins, and spiggeti.

Try fresh veggies, pumpkin, cooked spaghetti noodles... Mine go crazy for this and everything you posted...

That is just not fair Hosspak!! I wish mine enjoyed all of that. Nope! Still just mealworms that is an established favorite, will keep on trying!!

Withhold the treats for a day or two. Then try to hand feed the new treat. If they don't play Rugby over the noodles I suspect your chickens are broken...

When do you feed the treats? I give some first thing in the am before they get their feed. Especially if its a new treat. Some of the things like apples/squash/greens I cut into strips or shredded at first. (I cant free range) After they decide its good to eat then I just give it to them whole or in chunks they tear it up. I put the pellets out while their eating. I usually give them something in the evening too. Now if I'm running late and skip a fresh treat in the am I get the evil Chicky eyes and get squawked at.

I only have two that have started laying sporadically. I'm gonna have to keep track if I get a egg when I treat or not in the am. Maybe I can train them

(not).
