Mix Your Own Custom Chicken Treat Blends

Those of you who read this blog or follow my Facebook page probably know that I love to make all kinds of fun treats for my chickens. One of my favorites to serve is warm oatmeal on a cold winter morning, with seeds, raisins and other yummy add-ins. I dont know if the treat actually warms their bellies, but I feel better serving them a hot meal first thing in the morning - and they sure gobble it up!

-morning oatmeal for the chickens has NEVER looked this good!-

You can mix and match different nuts, seeds and yes, even dried insects, and create your own custom treat mixes.

Got some molting hens in the fall? Why not make up a high-protein mix of mealworms, dried river shrimp, dried grubs and waxworms.

Mix up a high-energy winter bedtime snack of peanut hearts, cracked corn and black oil sunflower seed.

Boost heart-healthy Omega-3s and -6s with flax seed and safflower seeds.

Jazz up morning oatmeal with raisins, dried cranberries and sunflower kernels.

-Okay, so I got fancy and layered the treats in glass canisters to store them-

-Violet dug right into some dried river shrimp-

-Virginia took advantage of some treats no one else noticed on Violets back-

-Dainty eater Annie prefers to eat the treats one at time-
