Right?! We thought we were going to lose a finger when we first gave them cheese! Full Piranha for sure.Cold hot dogs.
Dropped one on the patio. They went full piranha.
OATS!!! By far! They love oats... and cantaloupe seeds! Oh and cottage cheeseI 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
Go, Rhonda!!!! Get your grapes!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.
