Edgcumbechicks Posted March 29, 2005 Share Posted March 29, 2005 What do you all give your girlies for treats? Mine love sweetcorn, lettuce and cucumber. They also love bread, but someone told me that it wasn't good to give them too much bread, is this right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
red Posted March 29, 2005 Share Posted March 29, 2005 As you can see from my signature I haven't got my chickens yet so I can only dream of feeding them treats!! Still I'm sure everyone will fill you in their girls' favourite - sweetcorn definitely seems popular ... but then so do custard creams!! ... some people have said theirs like cake crumbs but if we ever have the luxury of a cake in the house there are never any crumbs left!!

Lesley Posted March 29, 2005 Share Posted March 29, 2005 You can give them bread but it should be soaked in milk or water. We give ours the crusts off the home-made wholemeal and sometimes I put marmite on it before I soak it. When it is soggy, I mash it up so it is like porridge.

If you clickhere you'll find all the weird and wonderful things our lovely feathery girls get as treats! Hope your chickens have fun experimenting gastronomically !

Guest Posted April 2, 2005 Share Posted April 2, 2005 Marmite! I've never tried them with that. Thanks for telling me about the soaking in milk or water, I'll do that next time. I've tried them with grapes now as I remember reading on here that somebody's girlies were particularly fond of them, mine do to. I'll have to try some more on the list.
