Not to be a downer, but I heard you should go easy on the cat food.

im kinda scared to feed my chickens rice
(they dont want people throwing it at weddings because seagulls eat it and blot and EXPLODE!!!)

Only uncooked rice explodes in their tummies. I don't eat rice anyway. The cat food has lots of bad stuff in it for chooks. At least the cat likes it. EDIT; IS THAT A GREEN CHICKEN?

YUP!! lol two accually (not mine a friends son did it for a 4h project and im so fasinated with it)

with rice I just throw a 1/2 cup into a cup of water and microwave for 3min. and let it cool enough so it won't burn them. They like it a lot better than raw. easier for them to eat. I also have this aujus base paste. I just stick the back of the spoon into to coat then mix it into the rice. the girls go wild over it.

Mine got a big fat Teranchila, ham and beans, and a banana with the peel. I am testing to see what they will eat??? They loved the banana, will see about the peel and I had to kill the spider for them LOL
