Things which are poisonous to us aren't as harmful to them due to their different digestive and nervous systems. Mine happily eat yew berries with no ill effect. I googled it - saw a website that promised imminent death and took it to heart... next time I'll consult you guys... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJuff Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 When you spend days thinking up how to move new chooks into the run without OH noticing and they arrive when he's working away. When the eggs in the incubator are for a friend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
