What treat did your chickies get today?

[dlgd]

Oh my, my kids are spoiled! They get good stuff every day. Fresh greens or fruit, tuna or cheese some days. Burger or noodles on other days ( IT'S FUN TO WATCH THEM EAT THE NOODLE "WORMS") I NEVER give them eggs or egg shells. I've seen that give some birds bad ideas. No egg robbers allowed! Tuna is their hands down favorite! Oh, and so is shrimp tails...Like I said, spoiled kids!

Our girls get all kinds of goodies, but there favorite is shredded zuchini and carrots. Lettuce is the all time favorite though, They can smell it when I walk out the door! It looks like a feeding frenzy lol.

Last night my girls had left over chicken and dumplings, some garlic bread, a little salad with ranch dressing and a slice of banana bread. They weren't too crazy about the salad.

Pumpkin and pumpkin seeds, grass seed, broccolli and some lettuce, all that before they get their candy (scratch) tonight.

Sunflower meaties. a bit of bread, and celery tops from the garden.... My lil broody hen got the green worm from the broccoli plant

Freshly dug up weeds from the garden and cut up bits of apple.


I used to give them chicken scratch as a treat, but now that they're making the scratch with genetically modified (aka "frankenfood"), I am trying to give them something that is not GMO.


This weekend, I bought the feathered kids a bag of golden delicious apples, and have been peeling and shredding a few each afternoon for a treat.


My gals love apples.

BOSS is Black Oiled Sunflower Seeds.

I hate to ask such a stupid question, but do you have to crack BOSS, or can you give it to them just as it is bought?


I can get some at a farm co-op outside town, but they do not have cracked seed, only the whole seed.


The only sunflower seeds I'm familiar with are big seeds -- they look so big, I'm afraid they'll get stuck going down the chicken's neck.

My flock got corncobs, rice pilaf, and scrambled eggs. They also got their semi-daily (crappy 14%) birdseed treat with yummy sorghum and black oil sunflower seeds.

A dish of yogurt and jasmine rice with BOSS and freeze dried meal worms mixed in.

A bunch of grapes that got squished on the ride home from the grocery store, and a half-eaten grilled cheese sandwich.
