- In this video I share quick tips for discerning which kitchen scraps leftover from your holiday meal are safe for your chickens. Do you have special chicken-safe treats you prepare or share with your chickens to celebrate the holidays with them? Share your thoughts in the comments.
At moment 3:49 when I mention sugar free cranberry sauce can be fed in small portions to your chickens I mean sauce that does not contain sugar or artificial sweeteners, all natural. Sugar substitutes and artificial sweeteners are toxic to chickens.
Note: I had some trouble with my microphone this time around, the audio is a little rough in parts. Thank you for your patience and understanding. I hope to upgrade my equipment soon! Your participation and support of the channel will help me do that.

I cant wait to own chickens. Theyll definitely get some nice thanksgiving treats
I'm very happy you are here on the channel preparing to adopt your first flock! Wishing you and your future flock lots of joy!
Hello Sierra, I love hearing the information you share. I give any and all leftovers from our thanksgiving dinner. As long as it is cooked. And not toxic. 💕NonnaGrace 🐓
Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts. I'm very glad you enjoy my content. Always wonderful to hear from you. I hope you, your flock, and your family have a wonderful Thanksgiving and holiday season ahead!
I never share table scraps with my pets. They get a plate like everybody else. (a much, much smaller plate) I only have two. Dinner is a "family thing." No garlic, onions, grapes, avocado, chocolate (we also have a dog) They get COOKED beans and grain; never dehydrated. White bread isn't good for anyone, we don't even eat it. Limited mashed potatos/stuffing. Mine aren't exactly "back yard" more like "indoor/outdoor" as they sleep on my dresser at night. They have a good layer feed and forage most of the day in good weather. Bonus: egg delivery!
Thank you for sharing your experiences with your flock and your pets. It sounds like everyone is very well loved and cared for. Thank you for sharing your information and perspective and for being here on the channel!
Great content
Thank you! Your kind words are appreciated.
Thank you for this video, so informative.
I'm very glad you enjoyed the video! Wishing you and your flock a wonderful day ahead.
@ it is going to get into 20’s & possibly teens next week. I have 2 small windows & small door to run. Should I shut all these? I keep my coop real clean but this is my first winter & I worry about ammonia building up at night. I also have flat panel heaters, at what degree should I use those. During the day I’m not as concerned since I have installed plexiglass in my run so rain & wind won’t bother them.
@@Crusher14 Silver laced Wyandottes are a very climate hardy breed. They are going to do very well in your climate! It sounds like you have great facilities. For my panel heaters I hang them like you would a picture approximately the level that my chickens roost. Ultimately it is wherever you can safely do so and in a place where they won't accumulate excess droppings. As far as leaving doors or windows open for circulation, without having seen your facilities a possible solution would be to close all but one window and to cover the open window with hardware cloth. This would allow for plenty of circulation without allowing in predators. This would keep in as much heat as possible while still allowing in fresh air. As long as you are keeping your chickens dry and keeping their facilities sanitary they are going to do great. Ventilation should be high in a place where cold air and precipitation won't directly blow onto your flock. I will link my winter care tips playlist which contains additional winter care tips information. I hope this is helpful! Let me know if you have additional questions I will do my best to help you find the information you need.

How do you help a chicken with an impacted crop
If possible I would advise seeking treatment from a livestock vet if that is an option for you. Please take any advice at your own risk and responsibility. First you may wish to isolate the hen in a pen with puppy pads, food, grit, and water away from the flock. If they are still able to produce droppings than the crop is not completely blocked. You can try applying 10ml of olive oil gently inside the chicken's beak and gently massage the crop. Repeat the process every few hours if it appears to be helping to break up with the mass in the crop. Once the blockage is removed and the chicken is able to pass the material the chicken may continue to have trouble eating so soft foods like plain Greek yogurt, mashed fruit, or their chicken feed mixed with water may help. Water with a hydration packet may also be helpful. If the mass gets harder, bigger, or they can't pass droppings you may need to contact a vet to surgically remove the mass. Impacted crops can be the result of ingesting too many fibrous materials without enough grit to properly break down the food. Some breeds and individual chickens are more prone to this than others. Once the chicken is recovered be sure to provide a grit station somewhere separate from their food to help prevent this condition in the future. Always contact a livestock vet professional if you feel it is needed. I hope this is helpful.
@ChuckTheRooster thankyou so much. You're awesome
