Cat Food Alternative

Recommended Posts

Hi guys,

 

I've been looking at some of the posts people have made about feeding their hens meat, tuna, cat food etc and just wondered if there was a high protein meat free alternative?

 

I know they eat bugs, worms (or anything that strays in to their path! :lol: ), I just don't like the idea of giving them meat.

 

What about sunflower seeds or similar?

 

Thanks x

Sunflower seed are very fatty and cause them to have liver damage if you overdo it.

 

Also, too many can interfere with calcium metabolism.

 

A handful now and then as a treat is fine though.

 

Some people give unmedicated chick crumbs, which are marginally higher in protein than pellets.

What you learn on this forum!!!

 

I've been given a spoonful each day for the past week, but I suppose that's too much?

 

What about sesame seeds?

Linseed?

Pumpkin seeds?

 

I have been mixing these together for an afternoon treat for the past week or so.
