Egluntyne Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 Make a banana loaf instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stoice Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 Mine love them - even with dirt from their run stuck to them! I wouldn't give too many in case they get the squits though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quickcluck Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 mine love them too! maybe make a cake with some and give the rest to your chooks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olly Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 I chop them into chunks and throw them in, peel and all ... it all disappears! I agree though that too many might not be good for the digestion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jen&Rog Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 I'd make a banoffee pie (recipe on BBC website, but go easy of the sugar unless you want diabetes). My hens aren't keen on bananas 'cos they get sticky beaks, fussy girls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iar fach goch Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 all 3 of mine go crazy for bananas, they get devoured instantly. If I have too many browning bananas I just slip a couple into my oh's lunchbox as he doesn't really notice what he's eating when he's at work!!!

surferdog Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 You can chop the bananas and freeze them (1 banana per bag). You can then use them straight from frozen in smoothies and milk shakes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
debbie26pet Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 I'd make a banoffee pie (recipe on BBC website, but go easy of the sugar unless you want diabetes). My hens aren't keen on bananas 'cos they get sticky beaks, fussy girls. sorry had to comment but to much sugar doesnt cause diabetes. alot of food have sugar in them (natural or suagr added). my daughter is 4yrs old and is a diabetic, id hate to think people thought id fed my daughter to much sugar.

jools+6 Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 after reading this thread i rushed downstairs and chopped up two ripe bananas for the girls . they looked at me as if i was mad , turned their snooty beaks up and went back to s"Ooops, word censored!"ing for worms however , for some reason , i got sent two cos lettuces from our organic supplier this week . do you think they would eat one of those ? we'll never eat two and they're usually full of blinking greenfly so that would be extra protein Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
