FoxFighters Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 Well I don't know about yours, but my girls are absolutely addicted to sweetcorn. We've tried them on many foods such as spinach, lettuce, cabbage, carrots and pasta, but nothing had proved as worthy as the humble sweetcorn. When they see you get it out of the fridge, they sprint up to the back door, and run after you whenever you take it out to them. There a bit stupid though as they seem to go for anything yellow now!!! So, after all of that, I've thought up a survey about your chickens and their eating habits: Favourite Food: Favourite Brand: Least Favourite Food: Least Favourite Brand: Please fill out a few!!!
