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

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

Red grapes!

My barred rock, Rhoda, is absolutely nuts for them. She jumps up and pecks the bowl I carry them out in, or me if she can't reach the bowl. She's low in the pecking order but she's figured out a loophole - she'll start at a distance and run at me, grab a grape and keep running before the older birds can get a peck in.

They also love watermelon, cukes, corn on the cob and scrambled eggs. Yes, their own eggs. It's a rare treat for them. They'll also try to eat the dog's food if she's fed in the yard. The poor dog gets so flustered she'll try and carry her bowl away, and of course the birds will parade after her, pecking up the kibble she drops.

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!

Right?! We thought we were going to lose a finger when we first gave them cheese! Full Piranha for sure.

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

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.

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!!!
