More questions for a newbie

[lisamr]

Do you have to cut things up, for example if i have a zucchini to give them or cukes or whatever. Do I need to do much prep of the fruit and veggies?

Well, for potato skins and beans/peas they all need to be cooked first. The raw versions are not good for them and are considered mildly toxic. Also do not feed them onions or garlic if they are layers, as the flavor will transfer to the eggs. The other thing to stay away from is rhubarb. Never feed them rhubarb.

OTHER THAN THAT

you can just chuck it in there and watch them fight over it!

Example: a couple of grapes will insight a riot in our coop.

For ours I cut them a little like for a cucumber I would cut it into three pieces if its a normal size one. This way the ones lower on the chain can have a chance to get some too. Not much in the way of preparing though.

Ones Lower On The Chain would be a good name for a band.

Thanks for the info. I pitted some cherries and I will chunk up zuchini and cukes to give them for their first treat. It should be fun!

HaHa that is true. Can see it now.

Please relay the "first treat" story! I love giving my girls treats and watching show
