What's YOUR chickens' favorite treat?

[BunnyLover44]

hard boiled eggs, watermelon, apples, and they go insane over yellow squash. they enjoy worms and ants crickets and roaches too. I love watching them eat treats!!

How do you serve the hard boiled eggs to the chickens? Do you keep them whole or smash them?


Thanks

Funny--mine were lukewarm on the dried mealworms, yogurt, and black oiled sunflower seeds. Maybe they're too young? (6 weeks)
They LOVE cucumbers, watermelon, and bread. They also go crazy for mash (just chick feed and water mushed up--we make up bowls of it for our crossbeak, but they all love it!) They also love beetles, earthworms, and Mosquitos. Go get 'em, chickens!!

Cooked shrimp heads and shells. My girls are spoilt, they. Look at me like I'm crazy if I don't run them in the food ninga first. But oh my they about lick the plate! I keep the heads frozen and chop them up as I need them.
