gongladosh Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 I got mine a new feeder (they prefer the standard covered floor-based feeders to grubs). Not only did I get them that, but I got them a nice tray of live juicy mealworms... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leeloo Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 They got a block of squirrel food! Since I only have 2 hens, I was afraid the 25-lb Flock Block would get mildewed before being eaten. I plan to get them some meal worms the next time I go to the feed store as a belated present! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

surfer_chicken Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 Mine got some grit and corn blocks on Thursday as a belated present (and to try and distract them from shouting at the new ex batts). They're just about getting the hang of it- the only problem is the corn is disappearing but there is a pile of grit on the floor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luvachicken Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 My girls had a sprout stalk thing from me which got hung up first thing Christmas morning, and then after some present openings my Mum and Dad also gave them a sprout stalk. They didn't like them at first - can't say I blame them - but once they got over their fear they now love them. Shame all that goodness didn't help make any eggs. Or would any eggs have had a hint of sprout in them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
