Ain't Nobody Here Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 I think bird treats are too high in fat to be good for chickens. Sometimes you can get ones stuck together with honey which are a better option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowy Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 I spent many an afternoon at Lyme Park as a child. Me too!! Do you remember the enormous long slide, down the side of the hill? (or is my memory playing tricks on me ) Hi & welcome Dogduck. I used to live near Disley as a child - lovely part of the world! Sounds like you are enjoying your chooks! Mine played tug of war with a big green caterpillar today But better in the hens than on my broad beans! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
