Onion and garlic contained high antioxidant materials which can be very useful in poultry homemade treatment. Given your birds crushed garlic or onion in there food will help it to kill germs and diseases. Garlic is a form of antibiotics in homemade treatment in poultry birds.

I like these little balls. The reason is that it doesn’t take a ton of them to keep your hens happy. They are made of all natural ingredients that most of us have around the house for baking purposes. However, they are rolled into little balls that will take the hens a while to peck at. This means that they stay busy longer and don’t eat as much. But what they do eat is healthy for them. It is a win for the hens and a win for your budget too..
3. Grape fruit

4. Egg
Would you think that chickens wouldn’t like their own eggs? Well, if you thought that, that would be incorrect. Chickens eat pretty much anything and these treats are no different. They are great at giving the chickens protein they need. Plus, when hot weather heads your way, these pops are a great way at keeping them cool too.

5 The Chicken Frozen Fruit
This is a really great idea to share with your chickens on a hot day. You basically take most fruits that they love and mix it with mint leaves and water. You’ll blend it up like you would any smoothies. Then you’ll place it inside a fruit ring to freeze it. Finally, you’ll give the frozen delicious beverage to your chickens that will really appreciate it during sweltering heat. 6. Fruit and Yogurt Parfaits I love fruit and yogurt parfaits. Well, guess what? So will your chickens. They are able to eat many fruits and vegetables without facing adverse effects of them and dairy is very similar. So you can take fruits and vegetables and mix them with yogurt or cottage cheese, and your hens will be very happy. It is also very healthy for them too as it gives them necessary vitamins plus calcium which is key to egg development.
6. Left Overs
Not everything we eat is always healthy. However, if you eat a healthy meal around your table and have some left then go ahead and toss it to your chickens. Plus, whatever they won’t eat they’ll grind it around and turn it into a wonderful composts. So almost any fresh vegetables and fruits that you feed your family for good health will give good health to your chickens too.
7. Watermelon
Chickens love fruits especially watermelon. I think it is where the fruit is mainly made up of water so it keeps them hydrated with the extreme juiciness of it. But I have always noticed anytime I put a watermelon in my chicken yard, my birds go for it. So keep these fruits in mind for chicken homemade. There are many homemade treat or food for chicken but this what will be mentioned on this blog for now, more will be published later. Thanks for reading.
