witzend Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 Just wondering whether storing treats in lidded buckets on a high shelf would be ok in a WIR - or would the chooks smell them/try to get at them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
surfer_chicken Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 My chooks are certainly very visual, they always recognise a bowl as something potentially full of treats, but if I hide something in my hand they don't know anything's there until I show them, so no sign of sniffing treats out there. They are still clever though, so I would be worried about storing treats in the WIR. If they catch on that the treats come out of the pots, they are sure to try and help themselves Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Surfin Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 I think it would be OK. I store my Garvo mix in a sealed polythene bucket inside my WIR and they pay it no attention whatsoever even after I've opened it to top up their feeders.

bostock422 Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 I keep mixed corn in a small plastic container, which originally was meal worm container, in outsider and they dont peck at it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
