jomaxsmith Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 I watched two of my hens squabbling over something the other day and then wondered why their tug of war looked a bit strange - they'd found an elastic band that must have fallen out of the bin Luckily I was able to get it off them!

ktdot Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 Muriel, my Coral, ate a bright red elastic band when I'd only had them a week or so. I never saw it again, not even in my numerous poop scoopings! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hen Watch Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 Few folk on this forum use wire bird feeders to put cabbage leaves etc in for them to peck at through the gaps (some feeders have quite useful wide gaps). I personally put the treats in a heavy metal dog bowl on the floor. They can't knock over the heavy ceramic one I use and it's easy to clean.
