phenna_family Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 Hi Everyone, Just asking for some advice, it was back to work today after having two lovely weeks off for Easter, this meant that the girls couldn't free range all day like thay have been used too. So I hung a corn of the cob uncooked in their run so they had something to play with and eat of course. Came home at dinnertime and they hadn't touched it but they love tinned sweetcorn. Do I need to cook it for them, then hang it in their run???????? Claire Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tara.F Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 nah! uncooked every time...why make a rod for your own back? perhaps they just haven't come across corn on the cob before, try pricking it with a fork a couple of times. My girls went mad for it but only once they smelled the juice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bellekatz Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 Mine have polished off an uncooked cob in a few minutes this a few minutes this afternoon Once they have the first few pecks at it I am sure they will get the hang of it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phenna_family Posted April 16, 2007 Author Share Posted April 16, 2007 Well my chickens have made a liar out of me, put them back in the run while I was at the hairdressers this afternoon and when I came back they had eaten it all, I am sure they waited until I had put a post on here Claire Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chelsea Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 uncooked corn - NOSES TURNED UP cooked corn - NOSES TURNS UP AT COBS, but will devour corn on the cob kernels (unsalted and sweetened from the tin) and it can only be the HO HO HO green giant brand Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
