Luvachicken Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 I have 2 parsnips left over from Christmas. I can't stand them myself and only cook them for other people by boiling them and then roasting them. How can I cook the 2 left for the chickens for a special treat ?

Space Chick Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 I adore parsnips My girls get my peelings raw, so you could chop it up and give it to them, or you could chop and boil it slightly to make it softer. Lucky girls Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luvachicken Posted January 4, 2012 Author Share Posted January 4, 2012 Do you think I could just chop it all up and cook them then ? That would involve least touching for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poppy ben grace Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 I would cook them, my girls love them softly boiled especially if i mix it in with a bit of leftover mash potatoes! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
counturchickens Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 I had some roasted ones left over from Xmas dinner, i chopped them up and they took about 10 seconds to eat. I'm sure boiled would be a healthier choice though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlisonH Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 I regularly give mine left over roasted parsnips, I don't cut them up, they just run round the garden with them flapping out of their beaks, chasing each other - it's hilarious!

sandyhas3chucks Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 don't think we meant "out" as in "out in the garden with the girls" or to the supermarket to purchase their parsnips, sweet corn, grapes etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Space Chick Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 The other out is indeed dangerous Forum out is warm and fuzzy, and involves (for me) a sofa, a coal fire and lots of Horlicks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
