I selected 6 different types of feed/food to check which feed my chickens like the best. This video shows the test and results – some chicken lovers might be surprised with the findings.
Also, I have written about this test in more detail on my blog http://www.selfsufficientme.com/

hey wat type of chicken is that the one in the beggining pic in the middle the tan one? i used to have tht type too!
Hi, sorry for the late reply (only just noticed your question) but the hen in the middle is an Australorp (Aussie breed). Cheers, π
CHICKENS ARE THE MOST SUPERIOR RACE OF ANIMALS. I APPLAUD YOU
Unfortunately the mixed corn does not give the chickens the correct balance and is certainly not the chickens natural diet, for a start it wouldnt get the correct levels of calcium for egg production especially during the moult. Mixed corn should oly be given to chickens as a treat and a commercially prepared diet takes all these factors into consideration.
Thanks for that – good to know π Cheers
No bugs? They would have gobbled up worms/bugs of any sort in a heartbeat!
Yeah, that's a good point…Damn, I should have had a plate of bugs and that would have made for a more interesting video! We all know it would have went first. Cheers Mark π

A dead mouse… Yep I've seen ours eat a dead sparrow and that was bad enough π "Moody Moo Moo" I love that channel name! Cheers π
Thank you and that's terrible eating a sparrow =/ I β€ chickens there the best
Chickens along with pigs are the farms garbage disposal system. They'll eat you're kitchen scraps(no garlic or onion though) and your garden refuse.Β If you practice some type of insect trapping in your garden(like collecting slugs in a bit of beer in a tin) , they'll eat those as well.. Bet if you put watermelon rinds down they would jump all over those .Got a brewery nearby? Collect their spent mash.Chickens go wild for it.
one word….snails! they are choc full of goodness
LOL I was expecting them to break out in a dance!Β A true gemΒ in your older videos.
I give my chickens bread every other day and they love it they even try to fly up and snatch it from my hand if I keep them waiting.
"what they like best" doesn't mean best for them lol.. ask a kid what they like best between candy and veggies!
Lol CHICKEN RUN!!!!!!! Lol
Do you feed them meat scraps?
Mine are picky. They seem to prefer grass over the pellets but will eat more of the pellets if it's bet wet not necessarily fermented but just wet enough to soak up a bunch of water and turned into like a peanut butter texture.
HAHAHAHA at min 1:10, they're all lined up in the cage staring at the buffet!
I loved how they were lined up at the door, ready to Rock n Roll.
Hilarious video of a scientifically-reached conclusion that has a direct and important impact on your life…and, of course, the chickens'. We homeschool and videos like this are gold. Still smiling…thanks.
