What special care do you give your flock?

What is BOSS?

Black oil sunflower seed.

Would any carrots work?

Pretty sure those are just carrots sold for luring deer for hunters. And yes chickens can pick at carrots, I toss the tops with a bit of carrot and they like both parts.

I eat sashimi pretty often, and they always come with those super fine spiraled carrots (great vitamin A source). I like to microwave them (so they are just slightly softened- about a minute) and serve them as little carrot noodles—with a bit of residual fish oil, so they even get a touch of omegas.

It’s a perfect snack, and honestly kind of hilarious—they’ll run around with a carrot noodle hanging from their beaks, chasing each other like it’s the most exciting thing ever. Of course they leave most of them thrown around- but I am definitely a 'kitchen scrap' feeder type of person as whatever the parrots or hubby douesnt eat either gets the compost or the cluck treatment.
