What do yor chickens like best for treats? Mine like fruits such as grapes. Would like to try somthing else what do you give them?

[Ain't Nobody Here]

I've just popped this into the "Chickens" section for you .

 

Mine would knock anyone over to get to mealworms .

[jennybrom]

mine love spinach or that mixed seed wild bird food my husband gets - he's resigned to it all going to the chickens now!

[susanbb]

Definately sweetcorn

[Lewis]

Sweetcorn, grapes and old bread

Wet the bread first though so it swells before its inside them

[Barkisland]

Grapes, apples, cabbage, broccoli, cherry tomatoes, sweetcorn, strawberries, tuna.

I only give them these things occasionally, of course. A few grapes every day, and maybe an apple to share or a cabbage hung up to play with. The other things are very rare treats.

[poachedegg]

Sweetcorn (tinned), grapes, spinach & mealworms are their favourites, however they also get cucumber, broccoli, celery and cauliflower leaves.

Worms, bread, currants, raisins, slugs, corn...

They are pretty greedy really so will eat anything and are always super excited to see the 'treat bowl'!

[Jennyhenny]

Got to be sweetcorn

[wooky]

Cold cooked spaghetti. They'd mug a granny for the stuff.

[Egluntyne]

Sweetcorn, rice, pasta. Don't tell DEFRA.

[Griffin]

Mine are going crazy for melon at the moment. Can't think why, ghastly stuff

[tooties]

being ex-batts, it seems to take mine quite a while to cotton on to something being good.

 

they like all the usual stuff, mealworms, grapes, sweetcorn etc but an unusual one (I think) is oranges!

[ubereglu]

Mine like a whole mixture of things, bread crusts, grapes, pepper seeds, cucumber, spaghetti, pasta, rice, bun cases

 

And whatever they can scrounge off the compost heap!

[Budgies]

an unusual one (I think) is oranges!

 

Citrus fruit is really not very good for hens I'm afraid tooties. It can be toxic for them.

My girls would eat most things but some of their real favourites are;

Sweetcorn, dried mealworms, spaghetti, tomatoes, grapes and their once in a while treats that they LOVE are cheese and fairy cakes!!!

My husband tells me i spoil them and then proceeds to go into the fridge to find them something to eat!

[*mummy_hen*]

I don't know how i forgot it..... Mash!! Mash potato or mashed cooked veg peelings!!

[chooklady]

More or less anything but they especially like grapes, sweetcorn, spinach, melon, pasta, cooked veg peelings (potato and carrot) over ripe pears to name but a few. Oh and tomatoes, big ones preferably.
