I'm new at raising baby chicks and so took some pointers from this forum and other things I've read when concocting my 31 little 4-week old chicks' latest treat. When I put them out in their temp run (on nice days until their coop is finished) I put out two bowls of roast (yes, you're reading this right) CHICKEN, lemon cucumbers from the garden, apples from the apple tree. I pureed this in a food processor and put it in two stainless mixing bowls, and it was devoured within 1 hour. They ate it like it was candy. They also love yogurt - but I did have to "peck" at it with my finger for a few seconds to get them to try it. Then, they couldn't stop eating it.

They don't seem to like celery so much, though.

Mine love corn on the cob, watermelon and peanut butter and jelly sandwiches!

I haven't found anything that they don't like.

Spaghetti and rice

I just tried bread for the first time . . . they won't touch the stuff. Funny.

Since we're on the subject of spoiled chickens....mine loved canned corn, so of course I just knew they'd love corn on the cob, right?
I shucked three ears of corn, called the chickens and layed the three ears of corn out in a row for them.
The ran over, looked at the corn, looked at me, then back at the corn. I tried "pecking" at the corn with my finger, but they still just stared at me. I took the hint. Went inside and got a knife to take the corn off the cob for them, THEN they devoured it! I'm not sure if that makes them spoiled or lazy.

That's Hillarious! When I hold an ear of corn out to my girls it's like a scene from an Alfred Hitchcock movie, nothing put snapping beaks and flying corn everywhere

The ONLY things mine DON'T like so far is yellow squash and carrots. Their most favorite treat of all is blackberries.
