New Chickens Getting Spoiled.

[CluckyJay]

Since I got them, my newest chickens went from God only knows what to home cooked food, lol.

It was so much fun watching them eat piles of chickweed. They dove right in and you could almost hear them going MmmMmmm.

I have been cooking up potatoes, turnips and warm oats for them, too. They seem to be pretty happy birds! I can't wait until they are over leg mites and lice so they can get turned out and enjoy life.

Happy chickens.
