    Favourite Chicken Treat?

    Live kingworms and hemp seeds do it for my girls. A half handful of sunflower seeds will also start a frenzy. However, if I need to give them a tablet, I will wrap it in cheese. All of them go crazy for it. It's not a regular thing, or even a treat - just a way to ensure that medicine gets...
