You could make a lot of hot sauce. That's Christmas sorted!Q: anyone ever feed chili peppers to your birds? My neighbor just gave me 10 pounds of fresh habanero peppers. (I can make hot sauce with) But that's still a lot of leftover peppers.
No RC, they are just spoiled rotten!I really cannot fathom this.
Mine are really like pigs and leave nothing behind. The only time I have seen them ignore food was when I gave them leftover melon and while they were chowing down a mouse ran by so they stopped to catch the mouse. Live food is more interesting than fruit and veg it seems.
I would worry mine are under-fed but they have free access to commercial food.
I honestly think Bob, yours are just better brought up and have better table manners.
Where did I go wrong?!
We know the term thongs. Some people use it here as well as flip flop.
This bring an image to mind of putting on your thongs to tend to your chickens (has to be 2 pairs of course)I never know when I talk to Americans.Some people seem to think I am refering to underwear.
Go you! That is sooooo satisfying. I'm glad you could helpJust Call Me Match-Maker Michelle!
Ok, I have to brag. The stars aligned in chicken land TWO nights in a row with my assistance.
1.) Wednesday after work, I saw a Nextdoor post about a found hen. This was about nine hours after the post, with no hits. I posted on a different local forum here that has a much broader audience and found the owner in 12 minutes! She was so happy and thought for sure her hen was "a goner" (her words).
2.) While trying to help with that hen, before I found the owner, I texted a chicken friend and asked if she knew anyone with a missing Gold Laced Wyandotte. Instead of texting back, she called. We chatted a bit and she shared that her daughter's beloved rooster had just recently died. (I remember seeing pics of her on facebook several years back walking him in a stroller!) She LOVED her rooster and was heartbroken. My friend asked that I let her know if anyone is looking to get rid of a rooster. The next day, I texted my other close chicken friend and asked, "You have a bantam rooster, but are keeping him, right?" She texted back right away, "Do you need one? I found out today I have 2!" Ironically, "Emily" decided to crow the very day I had a different friend in need of a rooster. So today they connected and now Emily has a new loving home and the heartbroken teenager has a cockerel to dote over.
So there you have it. I connected 1.) found hen with lost owner and 2.) cockerel in need of a new home with a loving new family over the course of two nights.
That is essentially the same sound Aurora was making. Do you know what caused it?
