Chicken treats & toys...........?

[sylvev]

What food treats do your chickens like? Mine love sweetcorn, pasta, cheese, mashed potato & cucumber. Any other suggestions?

Also....er...do chickens get bored and need toys?

Mine love banana and go crazy if we give them some.

We actually give them a few plastic balls to knock around if they are stuck in their run for any reason.

I'll try banana Teebee, now I think about it ours are strangely drawn to the kids spacehoppers, always pecking at them!

Watermelon (but it gives them interesting poos) and tomato causes big fights.

Do they kick the balls, teebee??

Don't think my chickens get bored
They're always in to something or other.

oh, and if the dog doesn't eat fast enough, they adooooore dry dog food

Chickens may well be good at football......I think we might have a budding Peckham

Mine just had some cherries, (found at back of fridge), or I would have had them! They went mad for them, mugging each other for the last cherry
