In my attempt to understand chicken choices, I offer many different foods to my three girls. For example, mine don't like cracked corn, but love fresh corn. They also are crazy about cheese. Is this a no-no?
Last week, I was on the patio with a bag of marshmallows, chickens milling about my feet, most curious about the bag. I held out a marshmallow, enjoyed the long look they gave this odd thing, and then watched as Rhonda stabbed at it and got it stuck to her beak. She took off at a dead run, with the other two in hot pursuit, grabbing at the marshmallow. As soon as one would grab it from her, the whole thing played over again, until the thing got torn in two and they began trying to actually eat it. This run/steal/run/eat act went on for 10 minutes until the marshmallow was gone, and I was exhausted from laughter. i don't know if marshmallows are really bad for them, but that comedy routine is too hysterical to pass up. Am I a sadistic chicken daddy, or is it ok with the marshmallows?
