Cate in NZ Posted April 2, 2006 Share Posted April 2, 2006 Mine don't like beans either They had an experimental sniff the one anly time I offered them, then upended the bowl I'd put them in, and ran away Leaving me to clear up beans from the garden path Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted April 2, 2006 Author Share Posted April 2, 2006 Well,they wolfed them down. But then again,my girls have never turned their beaks up at anything yet The greediest 3 ended up with baked bean juice all over their heads & necks - attractive!!!

Lesley Posted April 3, 2006 Share Posted April 3, 2006 I think, the more chickens you have, the less fussy they become. They know they have two choices - eat it or leave it - and if they leave it, some other chicken will come along and eat it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
