ali-s Posted April 10, 2008 Share Posted April 10, 2008 My girls have taken to pecking up small pieces of the hemcore and eating it. It seems to be tiny pieces that are damp. Is this a problem? Will they be able to grind it up in their crops? The hemcore has been down for about 6 weeks but I have only noticed them eating it today.

ajm200 Posted April 10, 2008 Share Posted April 10, 2008 I've seen mine eat little bits too. We haven't had them long and they are trying everything to see whats edible. So far there have been no ill effects Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ali-s Posted April 10, 2008 Author Share Posted April 10, 2008 Thanks for the replies Watching them more closely they seem to be eating pooey hemcore which has put me off their eggs. Time to change the hemcore I think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
