Chicken bald back

thanks for the advice, yes you are right, silly to do really but i was so pleased with her

As mine love a bit of mixed corn I just sprinkle a bit of that on top of anything new - they go to eat the corn and by accident try the new food (then finish it!)

I give mine something "extra" most days, but I try to keep the fattening treats (rice, pasta, bananas, sweetcorn, etc) down to a couple of times a week. The other days they get something a bit healthier, e.g.

 

* leftover salad or leafy veg - no calories to speak of but good for yolk colour

* a very small amount of cut maize scattered about to scratch for - keeps them busy and uses up a fair bit of energy in the process!

* a piece of higher fibre fruit to peck at (e.g. a small apple) - ditto, plus good for vitamins

* layers' mash porridge mixed with plain yogurt and tuna - good on cold days, esp if you make the porridge part with warm water
