I'm not a farmer or a land owner, but I love the small property I have and now share it with three girls. Or I thought I had three girls. I really now only have two girls and one guy! Rosie is a Roo, but we'll continue to call her Rosie and enjoy her 'Hello sunshine' in the a.m.! We thought she was a little bossy from the start!
Anyway, these three 'live wires' are very picky - to say the least.
I bought live meal worms for them and they gobbled them up in an instant.
I bought freeze dried worms and they were entirely ignored.
I've tried butternut squash, shredded carrots, celery, cooked spinach, oatmeal, dried cereal, left overs of various kinds and to date, nothing seems to peak their interest.
What can I feed these "gourmet" palates??????????? I mean during the winter months when they can't free range and I want them to stay healthy, well and happy???????
Thank you all so much.
I'm new to raising chickens and new to the Backyard Chickens site.
I've been reading other people's blogs, but now I've taken the plunge and am part of the events.
