Poultry pellets are a staple food for chickens, and this commercially-produced balanced diet should make up at least 90% of their daily food intake.
While at the feed store, you can also pick up some wheat, corn, or a mixture of grain (often called ‘scratch grains’).
Chickens are surprisingly fond of a variety of cooked foods, which can be a nutritious and delightful addition to their diet.
With its soft texture and enticing aroma, bread is a treat that many chickens will flock to!
Cooked pasta, whether it’s spaghetti, macaroni, or any other shape, can be a great source of carbohydrates and energy.
Beans, when properly prepared, can be a nutritious treat for chickens. They are high in protein and fiber.
