Mutrix Farmers Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 decided to clear a patch of garden this afternoon resulting in the inevitable earthworm! Threw it to the girls in their pen - well I didn't know they liked them THAT much. Katie ran around the pen with a huge fat specimen trying desparately to find a corner away from Charlotte and Henrietta without any success. I think they shared it in the end Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ain't Nobody Here Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 They're hilarious with worms, aren't they - mine remind me of basketball players the way they spin round in circles to get away from their opponent . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 They are funny to watch. I thought this was going to be a panic stricken post about intestinal worms! I'm so glad it isn't! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ms Tilytinkle Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 Hmmmmm we never realised we had sooo many slow worms, until our chooks keeps finding them - everyday so far - not unless its the same one - poor soul - it must be fed up with its lot if it is, as always a chase & then a tug of war ensue usually between 6 chooks against hubby as sure enough one drops it and anothers sprinting off wth it YUK !! I tend to just shriek " OOOOH NO, SLOW WORM... EEeek" which one mention of slow worm & hubby sprints immediately in the right direction Neither of us have given them worms yet, just can't bring ourselves to feed the poor unsuspecting worm to those 6 gannets that would just devour it in a nano second .. we're pathetic i know !!!! But grapes. .well i've never seen anything or anyone love anything quite so much - its bedlam when i have grapes, they all become jumpers too... quite unexpectedly!! They did love the lawns after they'd been cut & after the scarifier they foraged the entire lawn non stop!!!! They NEVER stop eating!!
