Chickies eating feathers?

[bethandjoeync]

I was wondering if this is okay for them to do. the down like feathering that floats in the air around them, must look deliciously tempting, because they catch it and eat it!! should I be alarmed about this? if so how do I help it stop?

It is ok for them to do that. I would not worry about it one bit.

Mine do it all the time. They actually make a game out of it.

Try uping there protien. Cat food is a good way to do that.

Sounds like they are just practicing catching june bugs, lol. June bugs that come out in JULY around here,

I am going to opt out of the catfood, but they are really funny, because they chase them. it's not a whole lot of them flying around. just a few here and there. I'll just keep an eye out for anything irregular in them. but i'll stop worrying
