I give my chickens a whole papaya a day, and they don't seem to have any problems so far. They seem to really like the seeds first, then go for the fruit.
I have 2-2 week olds, a SL and a GL from MPC. The GL is a sweetie that loves to eat papaya from anyone. The SL is the noisiest, feistiest bird I own. She's the first to cry and the loudest, and she's always the last to be caught to be put back in the brooder. Even though she's pretty feisty...

I got chicks! Woo hoo! So far I have 4 hatched and one zipping. The other 2 eggs have nothing yet...I think they probably went bad, but I'll wait and see. This is so exciting!
How long does it take them to dry in the incubator? The kids can't wait to take them out. They're so cute...
Pearl is soo cute! I'm so glad she made it.
I finally got my first pip tonight. Finally! I can't wait to see the process in the morning. Thanks everyone for the great advice over the weekend, especially you curiosity cat....You're a lifesaver!
It's day 20 and nothing yet.. Is this normal? It's my first time, so the wait is killing me! My power actually went off for an hour on day 18. But I figured since it's pretty hot here in hawaii, it wasn't that big of a deal...But now I'm starting to wonder...since I've
got nothing yet. When...
This is one big pip party! I can't wait till I get my first pip...can't stop checking the bator. I got up at 3:00 in the morning to check. Must get some sleep! Good luck to everyone! Baby chicks are the best!
