What treat did your chickies get today?

Forgot that I also gave them an egg.

Lettuce, potato, peas, carrots, corn and hamburger mince. By this afternoon I guarantee that all of the lettuce and hamburger mince will be gone, there will be some of the corn remaining and all of the potato, peas and carrots … I live in hope that one day they might surprise me

I hope you don't mind if I translate for the Americans. Mince is ground beef to you guys.
Today, my birds got tomatoes, lettuce, squash, 2 pieces of bread. Not very interesting. Am considering giving them my rice but I may need it for dinner tomorrow.

I opted for the sardines today, it was their first taste of fish.
I like hand feeding them their treats in the afternoon, they're still getting used to me, and I them.
The sad thing is that since they were first brought up in a hatchery, they didn't get any holding, and I doubt they will ever get to liking it.

But they're like lemmings. They all turned up their noses at the smelly sardines, until one said, hey! This isn't so bad.
Then the others joined in, and the can was gone in a matter of minutes.

I just took a shower, and my hands still stink.

Don't stop there, lots to be found if you ask... I just shake my head at the waste everyday that I see... When it comes to the bunches of greens like you just got, from my experience it's normal for most stores to simply toss all of last weeks leftovers when the new shipment comes in, doesn't matter if the old stuff is still perfect they rotate it out for the fresh new stuff.... I have picked up complete unopened boxes of kale bundles more than once, same with other veggies... Same happens with bananas they rotate them out when new ones come in or at the first sign they have a brown spot... And don't get me started on all the 'prepared' salad and lettuce stuff or anything else in a bag that is dated...

It is very sad that good food is being thrown away when so many people would be thrilled to have fresh vegetables. I will ask for produce when they are stocking as they "didn't have any" when I asked before. With only 3 girls, I can't use that much produce.

The consensus is that about 40% of all food in the US goes to waste and is never consumed, it's really ashame..

With only 3 girls, I can't use that much produce.

Even with 100 birds I can't use everything my single grocery store tosses, most still goes in the trash I only take a small portion of it...

You oughta see the waste at a restaurant!

I worked as a cook/chef for many years, see that side of the waste as well...

I work in a large high school kitchen and have my staff place all vegetative waste into a garbage bag everyday. I bring it home to the chickens. They love it. The girls go crazy for the grapes , tomatoes and cucumbers. Lettuce is usually gone or ground into the ground by the next day.
