Re: What Can I Give To My Chickens As Treats?

Don't feed them raw eggs - they can get a taste for them and start eating their own eggs. Once this starts, it's next to impossible to stop them doing it. Net result - no eggs for you

Mixed corn is a great scratch feed last thing in the evening, especially on cold nights because the corn burns slowly in the digestive tract and gives them a bit of extra warmth overnight. Bread soaked in water or milk (not too much milk, they can't digest lactose very easily) is popular with my bunch, also porridge made with water and a bit of Poultry Spice mixed in. Marmite on toast is a good pick-me-up, I chop it into little bits for them. Leftover cabbage or lettuce is also good.
