Mollie333 Posted June 20, 2010 Share Posted June 20, 2010 I thought i'd share some Recipes that i make for my chooks. The following is what i've been feeding to my broody. Weetabix & Yoghurt. This is pretty straight forward. 2 Weetabix per 4 hens, pour a teeny bit of water into the Weetabix and heat up in the microwave for 10/20 seconds depending on your microwave. (to get the weetabix softer) then pour a large pot of flavored yoghurt (i found that cranberry mullar light worked best) over the cereal. They loved this. Sweetcorn I feed this to broodys also, they love it. I buy Tinned Sweetcorn from tesco's, its naturally sweet so good for your chook. I put this in a little bowl (along with some of the sweetcorn water). They are big tins that i get. It will last one hen about 4 days. They didn't like this as much as the yoghurt and Weetabix. Mixed Corn Soaked in water. Pretty straight forward. Mixed poultry corn (a few handfulls) soaked in half a pint of water for around 6hours (i do this overnight) then poured in a little bowl with a bit of water. Broodys love this. Please share your 'Recipes' and what they like to eat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dannablue Posted June 20, 2010 Share Posted June 20, 2010 Tomato, Bokashi and Sunflower Seed Salad: 2 large tomatoes, sliced and chopped into small pieces. Add a handful of sunflower seed and a couple of teaspoons of bokashi bran and mix. An alternative is I add sultanas instead of sunflower seeds which they equally enjoy. My girls love it! I give them this as a treat (not every day) so they eat the bokashi but have since found out they will eat the bran on its own anyway! Still do it as it is a nice treat for them Strawberry and Sultana Fruit Salad Cut up any slightly mushy or over ripe strawberries from latest punnet, add sultanas and serve in treat tub - they love it!

hunkydoory Posted June 20, 2010 Share Posted June 20, 2010 My old girls loved chopped banana and sultanas (must be sultanas - not currants, not sure why) but my new girlies walk away from it, they obviously do not have a refined enough pallet for tropical fruits Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jennydavies Posted June 20, 2010 Share Posted June 20, 2010 One of their favourites is cucumber, cherry and pasta "salad" everything is chopped up small so easy to digest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
