grracee Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 Has anyone else got REALLY fussy pekins? I've tried to give my girls some treats (rice, lettuce in a food ball, sweetcorn and a few others) and they just aren't interested at all They like their daily bit of corn and occasional couple of handfuls of mealworms but don't seem interested in treats except for a pecking block I got them the other week. As they are in a run all the time at the moment I tried to make it abit more fun for them to have the food ball and sweetcorn on a skewer type thing but they aren't bothered by them Just wondering what treats you give your chickens?

mimi5 Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 Well my little gang of pekins are the opposite!!! They really love treats!!!!!!But tend to boycot their pellets!!!! They really go mad for tinned sweetcorn. I let them free range for the first time a week or so back and now that's all they want to do!! If the weather was better (ha ha all it does is rain....the pekins will have to learn to swim!!!!!) I did hope to let them out for an hour or so each day, while I potter in the garden. They just love scrtching around and getting the odd worm. They are so funny I have my sliver partridge sitting on 6 eggs at the moment ......so hoping for some cute fluffies!
