This is my third flock since I started chicken keeping in 2021. Last summer’s flock liked almost everything. One of my girls especially liked grapes & used to carry her grape all over the chicken yard so the others wouldn’t get it. It was pretty funny.🤣 They loved the grubs but my present flock are not that excited about them.
 
It would be easier to pick what they can’t eat. Seeing that the only things left by mine. Is just what they can’t tear pieces off of. Or they can’t swallow whole. Mine will eat a whole watermelon without wandering off. Then coming back to finish it later. Like they do with other foods.
 
Ours get sunflower seeds as their main treat, to call them back to the run, which they go crazy for. They also love Japanese beetles in the summer (how convenient!) and most any fruit, like overripe bananas or scraps of apple, pear, strawberry tops, grapes, tomatoes, etc. One of our RIRs is so impatient she jumps up to steal treats from our hands.
