I went out and picked strawberries today and asked if I could have some of the older/not as nice/dinged ones for my chicks... they said sure, no charge, so I brought home a bucket full, very ripe and somewhat mushy by the time I got home...had a great treat "riot" as most of them loved them... but just as I put out the last bit I noticed one chick kinda laying on the ground in an awkward position, so checked and she got up...and kinda staggered around for a bit... I think a couple of the berries must have been a bit fermented... and I got her drunk. She was ok in a bit (there weren't that many berries vs. the number if chicks) but had to laugh after I got over the initial panic when I saw her down... guess I'll have to be careful the they (the berries) aren't too long in the sun. Also picked up a bag if yellow crookneck squash for tomorrow, mine seem to like just about any treat I give them, squash, greens, canteloupe, oatmeal, yougurt, whatever, they seem to like it all and always look for treats when I come out to visit.
that's funny, thanks
