......everything.
Well nearly. With the exception of avocado and onions they're more than willing to chow down on any scraps.
I keep a tub in the kitchen to fill with veg scraps, left over rice and pasta, fruit that's taken to many trips to and from school in a lunch box.
In the morning I blitz it in a food processor. This reduces waste and means that the chickens can easily eat things like carrot peel, which are a bit too hard otherwise.
When its feed time I mix it up with some rolled oats and scratch corn. In the winter, when its very cold, I might add some warm cooked barley as well.
Other extras can include, a glug of oil, garlic, herbs, even nettles.
In the summer, the chickens don't need much feeding, as the have access to the paddock and spend a lot of time pecking at the grass and eating bugs, worms and grass seeds.
But anyway, here's the proof.... tucking in ;)
