Ok, I have been nervous to just throw any scrap or veggitation into my coop for my girls as they just don't seem bright enough to rip off tiny pieces and swallow...they are like vacuum cleaners...they dont care how large an object is they are going to try and swallow it....whole slice of bread, whole huge dandilion leaf, non-edible things like a price tag that came off some lumber my husband bought.....a chunk of shingle that blew off our roof in a storm....a chip from a broken ceramic plant pot....OY!
It makes me worry they will choke! I have been cutting every treat up itty bitty- apples- everything....I know I am being OCD but I have had to pull all kinds of stuff out of their beaks/throats on occasion and I hate to think what wouldve happened if I hadn't....
Then they do that weird 'neck' jerk, liek they are trying to make something stuck go down....Ohhhh, it makes me so nervous!
am I just over protective?!
