*mummy_hen* Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 I have Martha who is a noisy hen anyway, sprinting round the garden with a slug in her mouth screeching her head off because the others want it too! If she kept quiet, they probably wouldn't notice, she only draws attention to herself Such funny girls they are!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Frugal Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 Mine do that too. I'm always telling them to keep quiet when they find something exciting but they just have to show the others, don't they! Never a dull moment, eh . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egg Lou Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 My "Beanz" did exactly the sale thing yesterday on their first free range evening!

*mummy_hen* Posted June 12, 2008 Author Share Posted June 12, 2008 When i rake the wood chip over each evening they all come rushing in digging around for worms!! ....to be honest, i'm sure they're just boasting that they found a big juicy slug!!!

Snowy Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 I gave mine a bowlfull of leftover new potatoes (cooked) this evening. Mo dived in first and grabbed one, then ran off with the others in hot pursuit. All except Spice who got stuck in to the bowlfull while the others played potato rugby Hilarious aren't they?

wombatally Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 One of mine got a small newt the other and she's the biggest and most dominant but the others all launched on her at once - she kept it though! What I don't understand is how they manage to make so much noise with a mouth full of newt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cooks Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 this made me laugh, I love them making those noises when they find something they love.. nothing better is there! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mutrix Farmers Posted June 13, 2008 Share Posted June 13, 2008 I love feeding my girls spaghetti!! Katie is the quickest off the mark, with Henry in hot pursuit. Charlotte used to seem a bit slow, but I've decided she's actually quite smart. She lets the other two chase each other round the garden and stays close to me while I drop bits to her Newts? on a par with frogs. Chickens are so disgusting!!
