for chick coop

Chickens are true omnivores. They are not vegetarians. When left to their own devices as they have been for generations on family farms, they will seek out a wide variety of weeds, grasses, seeds, grains, fruits, vegetables....and yes even 'meat' or protein, usually in the form of bugs, slugs and worms. But woe to the lizard, snake, mouse or toad that ventures into a chicken run. Farm chickens have also been known to drink fresh cow or goat milk.
