A roast for the chickens and turkey #turkey #chick

Feeding a roast to chickens and turkey can be a surprisingly entertaining experience. From personal observation, these birds can be a bit hesitant when introduced to something new like a piece of meat. I found that patience is key — gently calling them with enticing words like "Come on, come get your roast" helps pique their curiosity. Interestingly, despite initial reluctance, these birds can be quite fond of meat once they get accustomed to it. In my experience, the turkey can often be the most cautious, while the chickens are a bit quicker to investigate unfamiliar food. However, sometimes the birds seem a little spoiled or stubborn, refusing to go near the roast you put out for them, which can turn feeding time into a playful challenge. Another tip is to place the roast in an appealing spot on the ground and use gentle coaxing phrases such as "It's good stuff" or "You’re gonna like the roast". These little verbal cues can help build trust and encourage them to explore new food options. Watching their reactions — from head tilts to cautious pecks — adds to the fun and connection with your flock. It’s a unique way to bond with your chickens and turkey while offering them a protein-rich treat. Remember, patience and persistence can lead to rewarding moments when they finally enjoy their roast. This hands-on interaction reminds me that with animals, sometimes you can lead them to the food, but it’s up to them when they decide to eat.
