Carrots
Celery (Stalks and Leaves)
Chestnuts
Cilantro
Clover
Corn
Crickets
Cucumber
Dandelions (Greens and Flower)
Dill
Earthworms
Egg(I would suggest scrambling the eggs, it's a great protein boost, helpful for weak chickens.)
Eggshell(only feed them their own eggshell)
Flies
Garlic (use in moderation to worm)
Gnats (believe it or not they go after these bugs)
Grass
Grasshoppers
Grapes 
Grubs
Honeydew
Lettuce
Meal-worms (just started raising them)
Mint
Okra
Oyster Shell (to provide extra calcium)
Parsley
Pumpkin
Rosemary (only feed them a little at a time. too much will make strange tasting eggs)
Slugs
Snails (they love to break open shell)
Squash ( No leaves or vine )
Spinach
Strawberries
Sunflower seeds
Sweet Potato
Tomatoes ( Do not feed them leaves or vine , it's poisonous )
Thyme
Watermelon
Whey(for a little extra protein)
Yogurt
Zucchini ( No leaves or vine )

 This is a list of the treats I have fed my chickens.  However, it is always best to double check for yourself on whether the treat is safe . Keep checking, I will add more treats to this list as I think of them.
