Cranfield Kate Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 Bertha likes nothing more than to break into the kicthen and eat collin's whiskas. apart from this being mean to poor collin, is it bad for her too???? i guesss it's not much different to worms but still...

alet_chicken Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 It won't harm her in moderation, think of it as just a bit of extra protein. My chickens love cat food too! The only issue for me (I don't imagine it worries my chickens ) is that it may contain chicken meat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jennifer Jane Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 My hens steal the rabbits' food if they get a chance. As does my cat Max. They haven't tried cat food yet though. (Well Max has, obviously). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alet_chicken Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 The little carnivores My ex-batts would trade their best friends in for a bit of cat food. They are not too sure about corn though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mercedes55 Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 I've often read it's good to let them eat cat food to get extra protein, but to not give them the chicken variety Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

figarogir1 Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 Mine adore dog food but I have to be careful as they come in and start eating it while my dog is trying to I'm sure they can smell it because they run at top speed down the garden and into the kitchen as soon as I dish it up. I have to shut the kitchen door in case the dog decides enough is enough and tries to take her food back! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
