surferdog Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 Hurrah! The chooks have just scoffed the last of the quinoa. It's been hanging around since my aborted detox attempt last year. They've also polished off the Free From porridge, the corn and vegetable pasta and the mung beans (sprouted) so no more feeling guilty every time I open the cupboard Wonder if Gillian McKeith would be interested in the contents of the poop tray Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Egluntyne Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 I have a box of quinoa (kennnnwaaaaah as my daft friend calls it) It is the vilest stuff on the planet, but cost a fortune. It will be on the menu for the chooks tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frenchlayer Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 sounds awful this stuff. I have no idea what it is. If you can't pronouce it, it can't be good for you. Feed it to the chooks, and feel good about it. Excellent post. Made me laugh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 My quinoa ended up being fed to the chooks too - it really is disgusting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazygal Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 my chickens eat gluten free crackers that have gone out of date and they polished off some brown rice I had sitting in the back of the cupboard that took so long to cook I gave up with it. They love it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abbey Road Girl Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 I really did laugh out loud! I can just imagine her pointy nose poised over the poop tray. I have a bag of those tasteless dried red berries but they have so much vitamin C that I'm scared to eat them myself or try them on the hens. Has anyone given them a go?

The Dogmother Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 Someone gave me some Sue, they are vile too. Chooks liked them though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
surferdog Posted May 28, 2008 Author Share Posted May 28, 2008 Is that Goji berries? I bought a huge jar on special offer from Julian Graves and they are absolutely foul! I've been wondering if I could give them to the chooks if I soaked them? Apparently they make you live for ever or something but eating such disgusting stuff it probably just feels like it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abbey Road Girl Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 Yes, they're Goji berries--give me strawberries and cream any day of the week! Into the treat bowl with the Goji berries then! Isn't it convenient that hens love strawberry tops and melon seeds? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently they make you live for ever or something but eating such disgusting stuff it probably just feels like it Hi, Surferdog, don't you mean absolutely fowl? (sorry) By the way, I absolutely LOVE goji berries, and have to restrain myself from eating the whole packet in one sitting If your chooks don't like them, feel free to send them to me!

superjules Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 Just checking! Quinoa is not actually that bad if you have it in a salad with pomegranate, diced sweet peppers, feta cheese, harissa paste and parsley, - but I wouldn't eat it on it's own.

Blackrocksrock Posted May 29, 2008 Share Posted May 29, 2008 Quinoa sounded as Keenwa is really not bad if you cook it with some lemon/orange juice and salad - I quite liked it and so did the chooks as cooked too much. Why do we buy so much rubbish really after seeing someone tell us its good for us though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyber Chook Posted May 29, 2008 Share Posted May 29, 2008 I know, especially someone with an allegedly dodgy 'qualification' obtained by a postal/internet course, as reported in the press (just covering myself against libel there) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted May 29, 2008 Share Posted May 29, 2008 I bought some keeeeenwaaaaaaaa too after "Doctor" McKeith was on TV. It got chucked out eventually (this was BC - before chickens). I did use her book though and lost loads of weight - have put it back on since plus more, naturally . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
