Patridge bantam chicken poorly foot?

[kez]

My two aren't particularly bothered about treats - which is good. They have a peck at it but only really eat the marmite on toast (yuk!).

 

As a lot of you say how much your hens like raisins I thought I give it a try. I put about eight in a bowl and put it on the ground. Liberty came over to have a look. One very quick peck for each raisin and the lot were in her beak! Melody was there within seconds but didn't get a look in. How many raisins can one chicken get in her beak?

 

I got a few more raisins and gave them to Melody while Liberty was looking the other way. Melody took one out but dropped it on the floor. She didn't get a second chance - Liberty had the lot!

 

In the end I shut Liberty in the run and gave Melody a few more. Liberty was going absolutlely loopy - running up and down the run. I felt so guilty about shutting her in, I let her out. She ran like a torpeedo to Melody and scoft the remaining raisins.

 

I wish I had got my camera out. The neighbours must of wondered what on earth was going on - we were all laughing our heads off

Wish you had videoed it

 

Ours didn't really get into treats until they started to lay.

 

Having read on the forum what girls liked, I was very disappointed when they weren't interested but once they started to lay it all changed
