Patridge bantam chicken poorly foot?

[LJ's Chooks]

I seem to have loads of bananas left slowly browning in the fruit bowl....can i give them to my chooks???

[Egluntyne]

Make a banana loaf instead.

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.

[quickcluck]

mine love them too! maybe make a cake with some and give the rest to your chooks!

[Olly]

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.

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.

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!!!

[hennymom]

I chop mine up peel and all and throw it in, it's gone in seconds...lol only once every month tho...

[tenzin]

Mine won't eat bananas

 

Now fresh spagetti

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.

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.

Thanks everyone... I'll give it a whirl.... we make loads of smoothies too... so freezing them is a great idea!!!

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

[hennymom]

now cos lettuce ..mine look at it like its an alien then when i turn my back savge it to death..lol
