I think I made it up to my girls for letting them go thirsty yesterday. I found two boxes of tossed out produce at the store, sorted through it all and provided an all-you-can-eat buffet to my chickens.
Heads of iceberg lettuce, radishes with tops, celery hearts with leaves, mung bean sprouts, tomatoes, apples, grapes, a couple bags of salad mix, broccoli, bok choi, cucumbers, zucchini squash, blueberries, strawberries, red raspberries... I think that's everything I tossed into the run.
It'll probably take them a few days to eat it all, and they'll get a good internal cleanse to boot. Some, if not all of them get a little bit of the squirts when they eat like this, and I think that's a good thing. Helps flush out things that shouldn't be inside them. At least, that's my theory.
And I set up another waterer for them, a 5 gallon bucket with 2 watering cups installed on it.
