Well, I have one bin in the bathroom closet so far. They seem slower, more sluggish lately in all my bins.
I do know that the ones in the bathroom closet are not getting wet foods as often because by the time I get back to the kitchen I have forgotten about them and start doing something else. I suppose I will have to work out some sort of note or maybe they could send me smoke signals.
Haven't tried too many different foods, though I might later. Mine don't care for potatoes too much so I am hesitant to try too much new stuff. I had run out of apples the other day and gave them Romaine lettuce. They weren't thrilled but it is gone now. Today is another apple day.
I snuck out a small bowl of mealies and laid it in the grass to see how long before the Ameraucanas noticed it....
10 seconds.....
30 seconds......
And then......
Afterwards I got the "Do you have more? Huh, do ya? Huh, Huh?"
And that is why I raise them. For the love of my chickens.
BTW, there are other breeds in there besides Ameraucanas. They just house together in a tractor at night but it was the grow up pen for my kids and they now just mingle so don't feel like you are seeing weird stuff.
