carnivore chooks

I have been told not to feed them meat or salt as this can turn them cannibal. But mine do eat frogs and mice when they catch them.

plus the fact if they are ill people advise cat food to help them (probably not chicken variety though  )

I give mine cat & dog food (for a boost), they like ham,cheese, tuna, fish, eggs (mixed with something else). Mine will basically eat anything,kitchen scraps. Not much goes to waste. I can't eat a muffin alone without half of it disapearing! Good for the waistline tho!

I think the reason behind why you're not encouraged to feed them meat is the Scrapie/BSE outbreak. Ie - feeding animals their own kind! ? causes disease's in those animals etc. There is probably some info on DEFRA'S site.

DEFRA may have a lot to do with it, viettaclark.
