What treat did your chickies get today?

[jadeybaby70]

Yesterday and today were hot days for us here in the Bay Area.; something our chickens don't often experience (I'm from the CA desert and lived for nine years in Las Vegas) In preparation for our few "summer" days, I mixed yogurt and apple juice and poured it over a delicious collection of chopped fruits and veggies and stuck it in the freezer. It was an instant hit. As it started to melt, the girls picked off yummy tidbits and enjoyed some tasty ice chips!!!

took out half a watermelon and they had a BLAST digging for the seeds! Yesterday I was grilling and dropped a hot dog and they gobbled that down fast!

I got two packs of meal worms from Wal Mart today. The chickens made them look so tasty, I actually considered the possibility that I might find them tasty as well. However I did refrain, since I figured the chickens probably thought they were more delicious than I would have. Man it's funny to watch a whole flock of little furry chicken butts skuttle across the yard for a snack.

Almost forgot, I found a bunch of huge fat crickets under a flattened cardboard box that was laying on the lawn. I was quick enough to grab a few and the girls went crazy. I might have to lay out cardboard to attract more or just buy some at the pet store. They like the more than worms.

Watermelon and some BOSS

And just gave them some curds I made for them. Trying to get more protein in my Jersey Giant who had sour crop last week. She wouldn't eat it. She's such a picky eater. Her crop is rather firm tonight and I'm a bit worried that we've gone from sour crop to impacted crop. I'm just hoping and praying she's extra full from free ranging in the big yard all afternoon. Will check her in the morning again.
