Chicken Treat Ideas?

Well a Momma Hen feeds them anything she finds from the time they leave the nest. I feed mine treats once or twice a week ..

Yeah, this is very true. I get it. I have been using a mixture of ground up oats and corn mixed with mealworms - The girls figured it out pretty quickly... but only give a little each day with the kids. They now run up to the kids expecting scratch. It is adorable, and provides an hour of free baby sitting Thanks for the response.

Hi. I was wondering what people feed their chickens for treats. I’ve been feeding them corn, cottage cheese, and mealworms but I was wondering if there were any treats that chickens love that make their eggs taste better.

In your original post you mentioned feeding your chickens cottage cheese. I'd recommend that you leave that one off the list. Chickens have trouble digesting milk products and can get diarrhea from them. Some people give their chickens a touch of yogurt because it contains some probiotic bacteria, but if you do want to do this, it would still be best to go very sparingly.
