Hi everyone

 

On Saturday I became the proud owner of two gorgeous hens, a Gingernut Ranger, still unnamed, but we're calling her Gingernut for the time being, and a Mrs Pepperpot who has been named Annie Pepperpot (after the Kate Rusby song Awkward Annie).

 

Despite being told they were about four weeks off lay, Gingernut has produced little eggs every single day, Sunday, Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday until today when she seems to be taking a break!

 

Let them free range in the garden for an hour or so at lunchtime today, and it was great to watch them poking around everywhere, having a little look at everything!

Update!! Gingernut Ranger has just poped one out, during the afternoon, and Annie has been inside the coop for a while now so wondering if she is going to start too!!

Treats??? What have you all found your girls like? Just seen cucumber siggested which mine have totally ignored, though apple chunks have been loved. Had some spare courgette so chucked a piece in .... which provoked frantic beak wiping after it was sampled!

I like the Kate Rusby reference. She is ace.

Welcome to the forum

 

They loved chopped up grapes + sweetcorn

Agree with this, mine also love spinach. There was a thread yesterday about treats, and I think the conclusion was that each chicken likes different things just like us!

 

Welcome by the way!

Ours all have different tastes - they all love apple , most worship grapes, but Ginger hates them, they all adore the leaves form a bush in our garden which I haven't a clue what type it is. Most of them like cucumber, courgette, pepper, carrot, brocolli, pear, etc.

Mine run away from brocolli - I've given up wasting my money on it

I tried some broccoli this afternoon - very uninterested!!!

[Jerrylikeseggs]

Apple, grapes, avocado ... drives them crazy!!

 

Cabbage, carrots, broccoli, cucmber, tomato .... not interested ....

Mine love sweetcorn including the corn on the cobs that we have finished they love to finish them up !

Melon, grapes, mealworms and cooked cauliflower in fact they will only eat cooked brocolli will not touch it raw !

Enjoy your girls
