Well folks, I learned the answer to this question the hard way.<\/p>\n

It all started one sunny spring afternoon when I was making myself a creamy peanut butter and strawberry jelly sandwich for lunch.<\/p>\n

My loyal flock of Buff Orpington hens were milling around my feet clucking and begging for scraps as they always do around mealtimes.<\/p>\n

Henrietta, the boldest of the bunch, was pecking urgently at my shoe, looking up at me with expectant beady eyes.<\/p>\n

I thought to myself, “You know, chickens will eat just about anything<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I bet they’d go crazy for a bite of this sweet and nutty PB&J!” Before I really thought it through, I tore off a tiny corner of the sandwich, crouched down, and offered it out to Henrietta on the palm of my hand.<\/p>\n

To my surprise, without any hesitation she grabbed the morsel and gobbled it down eagerly.<\/strong><\/p>\n

I swear her eyes rolled back in delight! In no time, the excited commotion and ravenous pecking at my feet signaled that all the ladies wanted in on the action.<\/strong><\/p>\n

I couldn’t resist those adorably fluffy faces looking up at me, so \u2014 against my better judgment \u2014 I shared a few more tiny shredded bites amongst the flock. They went absolutely bonkers for the sweet, sticky treat!<\/p>\n
