My chickens have been given meal worms as their treat but lately dont appear to be so keen. I would appreciate any ideas of alternative treats for them which, of course, are safe?!

Thank you!

Mixed corn is my usual treat for them in the early evening, although not if it is really warm as it can increase their body heat apparently.

Ours enjoy broccoli stems & runner beans (cooked)

occasionally tuna mainly when moulting

The only treat apart from mealworms mine have liked so far is porridge oats - dry, simply sprinkled on the ground.

Our girls get a variety so they don't get to bored with 1 type.

 

And they don't get treats every day on week days.

 

Monday = Corn or Cucumber

 

Wednesday = Cucumber or Corn

 

Friday = Mealworms

 

Saturday = Anything

 

Sunday = Anything

 

 

So it gives them variety.

Mine go mad for mixed corn. I just put it in a feeder in the evening when I want them back in the run and they go in like a shot.

Back to treats..Sorry, left over spaghetti or mash are favorites, but mine eat anything now they are older but as new hens were very fussy.

their favourite at the moment is a savoy cabbage with sweetcorn in between the leaves then hung up in the run, it's hilarious to watch and keeps them busy for ages
