What treat did your chickies get today?

[Preacherbabe]

I feel so much better about how much I feed my babies...I'm glad to see I'm not the only one who plans out their food. Today was eggs, a leftover chicken wing, squash, broccoli, scratch like grains, yogurt and some omega flax seed stuff. Oh and a mushroom. My hubbie just shakes his head in awe

I work in a restaurant, and I end up with a shopping bag of bread every day....they love it....texas toast,wheat,white,rye, hotdogbuns,burger buns with seaseme seed,ect,ect. But my chicken all-time fav treat is shaved almonds!!!! Its like a bunch of pirahnas once the almonds hit the ground!!!!!!

Mine have a similar reaction to grapes. In fact I had to make a grape trail over the snow to the patch of grass/leafy area they like to scratch around in order to tempt them out of the coop. Needless to say the ladies didn't care for their first snow encounter

I bought an actual flock block on sale the other day,but the mouse in my garage started to eat it so I took a chisel and broke it into more manageable pieces. Zip locked and stored the rest. All the loose pieces went into a jar with more nibbles. Now the jar is a chick magnet. Had 4 full sized hens in my lap not going anywhere til they could stick their beaks in. Wish I'd had my phone for a selfie

Rehydrated mealworms sprinkled on scrambles eggs (shells and all) and stale rye bread soaked in warm milk. YUM

Scrambled eggs and warm oatmeal left over from breakfast. To say it went quick would be an understatement!

Cabbage, lettuce, beef liver and mealworms.
They love the liver, they're little monsters when eating it.

Chicken bones for them to pick clean after I pulled most of the chicken off for chicken fried rice. It is kind of eerie to see them aggressively "attack" them. Cannibals! But not a bit goes to waste!

@KentuckyMom
I have never given the ladies our chicken carcasses, didn't know it was an option. I like the idea but I am hesitant because of the bones. Ever had any problems with the chickens eating the bones? Or is that ok?
