My girls love mash, but that's because that's their everyday food. My cross beak requires it to be able to survive.

I tried to give mine frozen strawberries, but they turned their noses up. So meal worms it was.

M My chickens are kooky about treats as well. I tried to use the shell of a spaghetti squash as a bowl for some spaghetti squash leftovers. Those birds wouldn't touch it until I scooped it out and put it into their food bowls. If it isn't presented in either their food dish or their...
