I just went and put the 3 week old poults in for the night but before I did I watched them for a while as they were pecking at the long blades of grass. One of the poults managed to get a blade that was about 10 inches long and was trying to swallow it which he was doing quite well till he got most of it into its mouth. There was about 1 inch sticking out of its beak and trying to swallow the last bit of it when another poult noticed and pulled at the blade of grass and pulled it out about 3 inches, then the grass eater pulled away and swallowed most of it again and the other poult came back and pulled it out again, this went on for about 5 minutes, one chasing the other and the other running away. Reminded me of when I was a kid doing that with spaghetti. Made my day!!
