Sweet BombDiggity Farms

Chicken Salad for Pampered Chickens

Bowl of chopped greens, beans and vegetable scraps mixed as a treat for the chickens

Good morning from Sweet Bombdiggity Farms, where the chickens get pampered just like family! Our feathered friends can’t get enough of the special chicken salad we whip up for them. The veggies in their salad might change depending on what’s on the menu for the week, but the toppings? Well, those never vary!

Here’s what goes into their feast:

– Kale stems and leaves left over from a dinner salad

– Carrot shavings

– Red cabbage discard parts

– Romaine lettuce discard parts

– A few older eggs

– Some slightly out-of-date pepperoncini peppers

– Cucumber peels

– Heirloom tomato cores and ones just a skosh past their prime

But the real treat? We never skimp on the toppings! We add Eaton Pet and Pasture Premium Grubs, packed with protein and nutrients, along with Henhouse Hemp, known for its benefits in boosting immunity and promoting healthy egg production.

So, here’s to another morning of happy hens (and a few ducks and roosters too)! Enjoy your salad, ladies and gents—because at Sweet Bombdiggity Farms, we believe in treating everyone to the good stuff.

Use this link in profile for 20% off if you want to try them. Or use our special code “bombdiggity” on their website site and it will do the trick as well! 

Now that’s bombdiggity!
