Treats for my girls

[Mama Lyle]

Today my girls got a treat with their grass clippings.
They luv the carrots, but avoided the celery.

Have you ever given them watermelon? My girls favorite!

 

[Mama Lyle]

Not yet, we rarely buy as I'm the only one in my house that likes watermelon.
Next week I'm going to try giving them apples.

Tie some string to the apple and hang it. Then it won't get rolled around in the dirt or Fought over

 

[Mama Lyle]

Sounds like fun for them
Thank you

 

[Chicken butler]

No problem!

Don't worry about treats getting dirty. Don't give grass clippings.

An apple hung up is indeed hilarious for us and more interactive for them. It's like a game of tether ball!

I give grass clippings too. In 20+ years I have not seen any ill effects. I do use a mulching blade so maybe that's part of it.

Watermelon is something I buy just for them. I don't like it but my birds certainly do. They go nuts for any kind of melon really.

I'll have to try that.

I have tied up heads of lettuce and cabbage. I don't know why I never thought to put up an apple!!!
