Silly birds...LOLI thought this was funny...gave the girls their first canalope....cut it open in their pen (its open all day and their food is inside).....well, they were afraid of it....wouldn't go in their pen to get the crumble food...I had to hand feed them some seeds to get them to realize this is the good stuff...go figure.
Mine will eat anything & I literally mean ANYTHING!!! My cat brought me another little garter snake this morning. Sat it on the porch right outside the kitchen door. It was pretty beat up & wasn't going to make it & she was tired of playing with it. I took it over to the coop & dropped it in. A game of chicken football ensued as 17 hens ripped apart & ate a 2 ft long snake as big around as my little finger.
