Official BYC Poll: What’s your favorite winter treat to give your chickens?

[Midnight Maran Momma]

They also love raw eggs, bugs, mice, lizards, dead bodies and dog poop. I just don't see the point of cooking for a scavenger. It's like cooking for a vulture

When you say "dead bodies"...

When you say "dead bodies"...

Uh possums and stuff

It's so odd that people cook eggs for chickens.

Yeah, I usually only cook eggs for my ducks. For the chickens, I just toss them the eggs raw.

 

[Farrari]

I give maze, sunflower hearts, meal worms, pea flakes and warm chicken mash as well as layers pellets from auto feeders, I soak a bucket full of treat feed over night to dish out in the morning and scatter a bit of corn in the afternoon by their pellets remain their main feed all year round.

 

[Sarajobe]

We give all sorts of treats year round, but it's fun to cook for them! I made some plain pinto beans and they LOVED them. They really love oats with fruit though. We also do tuna every now and again because I can't stomach giving them eggs.
