What will they NOT eat??!

[HorseFeathers]

I had just made chocolate zucchini muffins (mmm!) and brough one out to the backyard to eat it. Chickens gather. Our conversation went something like this:
"No, Olympia, you may not have a muffin."
"Brrrawwwwk!"
"Awwww.... maybe you can get the bits off the wrapper, you cutie pie."
I finish my muffin. Hold out the wrapper. Wham! Faster than a speeding bullet, off goes Olympia, the wrapper clutched firmly in her beak. I race after her. She holds on- a peice of wrapper actually tore off in her beak when I snatched it back.

I had a similar incedent on Friday when they decided the wax paper covering my sandwich would make a good toy. I haven't seen it since.


Moral: do not give your chickens muffin wrappers, even if they say "Braaaawk".

The worst is when you go out with your supper on a plate and wind up with cooked AND uncooked chickens on it.

Mine don't like yellow summer squash. Although they LOVE the green zucchinis....? I think it's the color?

I found out the hard way that mine like paper plates....and I held my breath for a few days after, hoping it wouldn't get stuck in their little gastro tract! WHEW! Learned my lesson there!

green zucchini. I'm not usually a fan, but in desserts... yum yum yum!

You guys are funny!

Our flock won't eat slugs. They walk around them when they see them in the farm yard, usually because they are on the lookout for the BIG GAME - grasshoppers.

Mine either. I was quite upset after I battled my own extreme bug queasiness to gather dozens of slugs while visiting my father, put them in a container, refrigerate them, and then travel home with them only to find Tom ad Harriet quite less than enthusiastic.
