Fungus UPDATED

Recommended Posts

I've just been down to the woods and picked up some large tree branches to put in the run (already had fallen onto the floor first). They have some sort of fungus on them that has gone hard, so not fresh fungi. Do you think it would be OK to leave it on there, or could it be harmful to my girls?

 

If they lived on a farm free ranging then I'm sure they would be some sort of wood pile lying around with fungi on it. So I'm sure it wouldn't do them any harm, but I just want to check with you knowledgeable peeps first :D

 

UPDATE: Well I s"Ooops, word censored!"ed off most of the fungus stuff but couldn't get it all off, its old fungus as it had dried out and was hard. Put the branches in the run and they discovered the moss that was growing on it and have devoured that and pecked at the fungus stuff too :shock: So I hope it's alright :pray: otherwise I'm going to have some very poorly chooks soon :(

No idea but mine manage not to eat the mushroom typethings growing in my lawn.

 

I put logs I collect from the woods in the run for them to jump on. I did the same as you, got a branch about 1inch dia and poked it through the eglu run bars, tied it with string, and they love to just sit on it and perch.
