Luvachicken Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 How much pasta should I feed my chickens for their supper time treat ? I noticed that if I give it to them about 10 mins before they go to bed they don't make so much noise early in the morning , but I don't know how much they should have. Thanks for any help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 How much are you giving them? I'd say a handful between them would be adequate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luvachicken Posted May 25, 2009 Author Share Posted May 25, 2009 Yeah , thats probably about right. Is is ok to give them that every night? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
splodge88 Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 I'd say that sounds alright if its not too much. However, I do think a bit of variety might be nice, you could try different snacks such as grapes etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luvachicken Posted May 25, 2009 Author Share Posted May 25, 2009 yeah other snacks sound good but how quick do they digest them? i thought with the pasta it would keep them sleeepier for longer. could they have the grapes with the pasta?

freckles Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 I'd give them a handful or so and yes give them the grapes with it. Have you tried spaghetti yet, that's very funny, they seem to think it's huge worms Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luvachicken Posted May 25, 2009 Author Share Posted May 25, 2009 I was worried they might choke on long bits so I chopped it with scissors. I have given them the twisty pasta and they go mad for that. Can you leave the spaghetti in one long strand ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plum Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 They love strands of spaghetti and one runs round with it and the others in hot pursuit even though there is some in a bowl. The nuts. Thanks for the tip I'll try giving them a bit late and see if it keeps the beasts a bit quieter. I get the wake up call at 10 to 6 at the moment.
