Single hen

[4Clucks-minusOne]

My girls have suddenly got an aversion to red cabbage. I went to put half in last week and you'd think I was putting in a foxes head .

They flapped up to the eglu end of the run and wouldn't come down to the door. I even scattered some dried oats for them but they wouldn't come near. So I took it out and they came for the oats.

 

This week I gave them some green cabbage leaves with a red edging and had the same response. I hid some spaghetti in between the leaves which I tried to tempt them with. In the end I left them in. They did come down later but ate some as well as throwing some into their water glug.

 

They have also gone off eating corn. Is it just a phase?

[C&T]

They are so temperamental with food!

 

Mine are totally non plussed with corn. Used to love, now I have a sack that I am slowly getting through by feeding to the wid birds.

My girls do have strong likes and dislikes, but they've never gone off something once they've started to like it , how odd.
