Chickens

Very interesting.Does she get the peanuts in the shells?And what were the egg shells like; fragile,easy to crack or hard? What breed of chicken does she have?

I wonder if they just like the taste better, or instinctively know or have figured out that they get less hunt for their peck with a peanut since it is surely the largest seed in the mix.

she just said raw… I will assume that they were shelled.
I don’t know what the breed(s) are. sorry.
The egg shells: a few were easy to crack, almost delicate, but for the most part, I’d say “average”.

I would guess that the oil in the peanuts would be a good replacement for insects that they don’t get to eat during the winter months. Thoughts?

My chickens love to eat sunflower seeds. They are constantly raiding any seeds I put out for our wild birds. Our mix doesn’t include peanuts but if it did, I imagine the chickens would enjoy peanuts too.
