jjjj Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 I have 3 tubs of fat snax wild bird food that our wild birds are not over interested in. My question - can I offer them as a treat / entertainment (?) to our 2 chooks. It seems such a shame that the fat snax are not used. (I am thinking of giving the chooks the ones that are still in the tub in the shed - not the ones hanging on the bird feeders!!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevie Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 If its them solid balls of nuts & seeds moulded then i wouldnt as they contain animal fat. If its loose seed then yes and they'll love it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cluckbok Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 I agree too, if it's loose bird seed that should be fine. But if it's the other sort like fat seed balls, then I wouldn't, they are too bad for them. The ones with honey are better, but I think fruit/veg/porridge/corn is better for treats.

jjjj Posted June 5, 2008 Author Share Posted June 5, 2008 Thanks a million - yes they are they solid fat and seed sort, but I do have loose wild bird seed so the chooks can have that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
