Feeding cod to chooks

Recommended Posts

A friend of mine has a chippy and has loads of bits of cod left each week that she can't use. She says it is boneless and I can have as much as I want as it only goes in the bin.

 

I was planning on boiling some up and feeding it to the girls.

 

Does anyone see a problem with this? I presume it is full of protein and may help when moulting etc.

 

Do you think they might prefer Sushi?

won't it be a bit, erm, whiffy (and perhaps off) after a week or does she keep it in the freezer?

My girls devoured a Haddock (I think) which fell from the sky in the summer :shock: The whole fish went within seconds, skin, bones, head, fins,everything :shock: The poor Seagull which dropped it must have been really hacked off :lol:

 

 

:shock: Now I would have liked to have seen that :D

I meant daily rather than weekly, She was saying that once defrosted there are bits she can't use. And whilst it is fit for use it is the wrong shape etc. She isn't allowed to re-freeze nor would she risk her reputation by doing so. But it is a shame to throw good food away and if the chooks enjoy it I have an inexhaustable supply! Like I said if the girls don't like the stuff I will make some fishcakes and eat them!

in that case, give it a try however, when you take it to the girls you have to sing..."you shall have a fishy on a little dishy, you shall have a fishy..."

 

erm, right, bed time for me I think! :shock:

Our village chippy has got round this by battering and frying the offcuts and selling them 5 for a £1 as ocean dippers for children :lol: Mine love them!

Well I think we can safely say that they like Cod! :lol:

 

I grilled a few lumps of the cod, checked for bones, mashed it up and seasoned it with Posh Spice and Flubenvet :D:D:D

 

It lasted just under two minutes, and that was a dinner plate full! :shock:

 

I think I will cook the rest, save some for tomorrow and freeze the remainder.

 

I don't want to give them too much or they might not eat the pellets but I don't suppose it will matter so much in this weather, it will give them a bit of a boost and it's a sneaky way of worming them!
