Even cheaper if you have natural treats growing all around! Or grampie's apple pile for the deer! Hehehe! I've had to gently scold the girls once or twice ...but only because he was watching!

I gave my girls kale and cherry tomatoes. They're serious over their tomatoes. I love watching them play tackle football. Hysterical

You've gotta check everything over really good for the nasty bits (moldy/obviously spoiled beyond use), but the chickens dont care if their treats are slightly squashy, broken, cracked, or otherwise "imperfect". I figure the chickens get healthy treats, I dont have to spend a ton of $$ I dont have to give _chickens_ a healthy snack, the grocer gets paid- which means the farmer continues to get paid, and the veggis dont end up in the trash. Everyone wins!

Mine got some leftover steak scraps that the inlaws brought for the dog. She (the dog) hasn't asked, and I'm not telling!

I turned the compost pile this afternoon. They got all kinds of tasty goodies in there. The thing is filled with worms, grubs, ants, etc. I gave them the last of our spinach in their treat bowl and they were so full from their compost bin raid that they just walked away from the spinach. And my girls NEVER refuse spinach.
