What treat did your chickies get today?

[Rudies Roost]

Miserable, wet Autumnal day here today so I just cooked my lot some spaghetti pasta, a can of tuna, some leftover olives, small bit of ciabatta and bacon bits from my bf's breakfast. What did I have?.....oh, a "cup a soup". Spoilt brats they are!

I'll say!


Mine got some well aged macaroni salad, some cold bacon grease, and the contents of the sink strainer (spaghetti and cooked ground beef) after dishes were done.....

Mine had bacon fat chopped up and some left over spaghetti carbonara both chickens and ducks went mad for it

Yesterday mine got about 3 oz. of leftover chicken breast, a few green beans, part of an apple, a bit of cucumber, some grapes, and a bit of summer squash. And grasshoppers - yum.

Mine love Greek yogurt and spinach.

I've read that spinach leaches calcium from chickens (or maybe just chicks). Anyone know if that's true?

It does not take calcium from the birds, but it is not a good choice of a calcium source due to it's make-up:

Just wondering do chickens eat acorns? A friend of mine said that his birds eat acorns so I tossed all of the acorns around my yard into the chicken pen so they could eat them, but they just sat there and the chickens didn't eat them.

Hey BlueOrpingtons apologies that I do not know the answer to your question but I couldn’t help but reply that if I tossed acorns into my gals run they would have carried on like I had tossed in a grenade!

Around here corn on the cob is also a chicken trap apparently!

Good information. Thanks.
