TAJ Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 After reading how funny chickens are with pasta on here and how much they love it I just cooked some just for them for my own entertainment. It certainly gave them a good workout - one runs off with a piece in her mouth so the others run up to the other end of the garden trying to get it out of her mouth (the fact there is plenty more in the bowl seems of little consequence!). Then that one strand gets finished and all three run as fast as they can back up the garden to be the first to get the next strand. It kept me entertained for half an hour watching them anyway. If you haven't tried it it is highly recommended! Tracy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chelsea Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 people without chickens dont realise what fantastic entertainment value they are. I cant go a day without laughing at my lot's antics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eyren Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 Little Esme dug up a huu-uuge earthworm today whilst I was fettling one of the salad beds. At first she just pecked at it, and I thought of taking it off her so it could escape - but then she suddenly grabbed it by one end and sucked the whole thing down like a piece of spaghetti Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strepsy Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 Aww, yes I've tried mine on 4 different snacks so far and pasta was definitely fave, for them aswell as entertainment value for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jomaxsmith Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 My funniest one was when they found a rubber band discarded by the postman. Their tug of war was quite amusing until I realised what they were playing with and had to intervene! Jo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
