What's your chicken's/chickens' favorite snack/treat?

[mschickiemama]

I know their main food should be well-balanced chicken feed but what's their favorite treat?

Mine likes blueberries a lot and makes happy sounds when she gets them! I also discovered she likes almond milk yogurt

Mine LOVE the green leaves of dandelion weeds! They also love the sprouts the rejected bird seed makes!

Baby belles! Omg, our birds are gaga for pieces of those little cheeses.

My chickens are HUGE fans of meal worms! They are high i protein too, so there like "good for them" right! If you are worried about a balanced diet you can also feed the scrambled eggs and pumpkin seeds, thats supposed to be a healthy treat that most chickens LOVE!

Mine like lots of things, but nothing gets them as excited as scratch does... And I have this one chicken that likes it best if I feed it to him out of my hand. Doesn't matter how much of it I throw on the ground, he keeps coming for my hand and insists

They used to love plantain weed and strawberry tops, but once I introduced watermelon it was game over. Nothing else compares except for maaaaybe cucumber when it's hot. Not big fans of cracked corn or meals worms strangely.

Meal worms. They always come running for them, to the point where I’ve trained them to come by shaking the bag. It’s the easiest and quickest way to round them all up when I need to bring them in from free ranging.
Other treats that they really like are grapes and zucchini.

Cold hot dogs.
Dropped one on the patio. They went full piranha.

My chickens love, love, love red clover. They just cant get enough. I have a long patch along the outside of the run. I let them out for a 1/2 hour yesterday for the first time and they went right for it. I knew it!!!

Watermelon and a 5 grain scratch are the favorites here. Greens, sunflower seeds, corn, etc are all hit or miss but every bird we have will pick a watermelon rind clean or come running for scratch.
