chrisnrob Posted December 26, 2007 Share Posted December 26, 2007 Bananas are fine. Lots of them seem to love it but ours weren't in the slightest bit interested - picky girls! Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lovemychooks Posted December 26, 2007 Share Posted December 26, 2007 Try them with melon, especially the pips. Mine go crazy for it ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cate in NZ Posted December 26, 2007 Share Posted December 26, 2007 I obviously had very strange hens, I'd offer them fruit and they'd turn their little beaks up at it. But during the summer the horrible lot managed to strip practically all of my fruit bushes bare. Sort of pick your own for hens I do believe that bananas are OK, mine never ate them, but I know that plenty do and seem to enjoy it.

Guest Posted December 26, 2007 Share Posted December 26, 2007 totally fine, ours used to love mushed up (soaked) granary bread with banana, until they discovered meal worms and mixed corn! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted December 26, 2007 Share Posted December 26, 2007 Mine ignore banana completely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chocchick Posted December 27, 2007 Share Posted December 27, 2007 Mine like banana, strawberries, raspberries, melon remains (if it doesn't flip over as they can't cope and it stops being food ), blueberries, tomatoes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jomaxsmith Posted December 27, 2007 Share Posted December 27, 2007 I've tried mine with banana in porridge and on its own and they wouldn't touch either. I put an overripe pear in teh run the other day and they have been enjoying pecking that. Other than that, they like grapes and cherry toms.

Tessa the Duchess Posted December 27, 2007 Share Posted December 27, 2007 My chickens live directly under both a plum and damson tree. When the fruit is perfect and literally falling into their run, they ignore it. When the fruit is totally rotton and putrid they fight over it Mine don't like banana either.

Ain't Nobody Here Posted December 27, 2007 Share Posted December 27, 2007 Apart from grapes which they just about kill me for, they also love the leafy tops of strawberries. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
