What treat did your chickies get today?

[Stephanie R]

Today, despite having0 some good/fresh food, I found quite a few inside the outside toilette cottage. Well, someone left the door open and as we store there their complete bought food bags (25 kg mix, with guarantee no GMO and hopefully zero Roundup crap) and there is usually a little on the floor, I was not curious.

But then on a closer look: The ladies had picked on a fresh bag, thus opened a hole and luckily picked from the stream that ran out!

Crazy, didn't thought they'd be that intelligent?

Wily chickens.

You've heard of it but not by the acronym they use here.
Black Oil Sunflower Seed.
You can feed it whole or dehulled.
Whole will be about 14% protein or so. Without the hull it's about 20%.

It depends on what we have but apples, celery, oats, and a seed mixture from tsc is usually the basis of the treat. Today it's apple, grape tomatoes, celery, dried cherries, banana, oats, handful of granola, store bought mushrooms, seed mixture, half a pear and a leftover piece of bell pepper. They go crazy over apples and grapes.
