 Posted: Fri Apr 18, 2008 8:21 pm Post subject: What extras to feed chickens / ducks |
 |
|
I have just started introducing growers pellets to my chick feed for my chicks. I would like to know from anyone please what extras I can give them. I have tried mashed potato and that was a hit, lettuce was good and cabbage. They also have some corn. They are free range in my garden so they get loads of other nibbles, I just want to spoil them!
My ducks are only 7 days old but do like a bit of pond weed! What extras can I give them. Oh and they quite like lettuce too! |

Porridge  Mine go bananas for it 
Also sunflower seed (de husked) but careful on it --- it's fattening. |

Not found anything to rival grapes yet as a treat.
Mine go crazy for them. |

Try Sweet Corn, be careful when doing so as you may lose a limb  |

Ours love cheese. A Babybel disappears in seconds!
Only in moderation though.  They haven't had one for ages. |
