Cold Figs on a Hot Day

[Captain13]

Yesterday, the heat index was 114 here. I picked some ripe figs and put them in the refrigerator and got them nice and cold. During the hot part of the afternoon, I gave each girl a fig. They lived them. They only got one a piece because I know they are high in sugar. But they also have a lot of vitamins, antioxidants and calcium. These are the small figs we use for making preserves and not the big turkey figs that are more prevalent here So I wasn’t too concerned about them getting too much sugar.

Anyway, if you run across any fresh figs, chickens can eat them and they do love them.

If only...I'd eat them and give none to the chooks . Thanks for the note though. Nice to know chickens will eat figs.
