Chooks favourite treat?
Chooks favourite treat?I thought it would be good fun to hear what your Chickens really really really like so to kick off this thread, here's what we have found so far:
An apple makes them go daft - one grabs it and the rest give chase like a benny hill type of caper....... I'll need to get a video of this cause it's got to be worth £250 on you've been framed! 10 ex-bats rehomed and lovin it..... Another 10 to come and they'll be lovin it tooooo.

I get mugged by them when I step out of the workshop with this cocktail Instant idiot........just add beer!
Re: Chooks favourite treat?Mealworms, earthworms and blueberries are my girls top 3.
Re: Chooks favourite treat?Pasta, definitely pasta!! Spaghetti also favourite and great fun to watch them eat - running all over the place trying to stop it being stolen!!
They did go nuts for three mornings when I administered verm-x by mixing it with pureed apple, a little water and layers pellets. Made a lovely wet mash that they dashed out for and scoffed in record time! Great way to make sure they all had some of the verm-x!! Alison
3 children, 2 dogs, 5 hens (RIP Tilly, Dylis and Princess Layer) 2 guinea pigs and one wonderful husband! Re: Chooks favourite treat?Absolutely anything!! The pasta frenzy however is worth staying to watch!!

Re: Chooks favourite treat?Along with 'all the above' I am growing beetroot this year and every day I pull off a few leaves and break up the stems for them to share. They absolutely love them.
Re: Chooks favourite treat?My ladies like grapes, tomatoes, pasta and rice best. Think the pasta is the all time favourite though.
Not seen them in action with any frogs...............yet............wouldnt like to watch that I dont think...........YUK! Re: Chooks favourite treat?Tinned sweetcorn !! They go mad for it.
