patsylabrador Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 I use plastic biscuit and sweet boxes for their food and water so after every Christmas they get new ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adams Egg Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 Half a Pantone was sneaked in by Father Xmas at 10pm but the little madams got up soon after and opened their present! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
good_egg Posted December 25, 2012 Share Posted December 25, 2012 I got mine a spike to stick through veg and a ball veg holder thing, technical descriptions. Not sure they'll appreciate as they are still ridiculously scared of cabbage, spinach, corn etc but at least it makes it easier for me when I'm being mean and giving them scary treats!

chickanne Posted December 25, 2012 Share Posted December 25, 2012 They've just had some tuna for breakfast and will open thier mealworms later on They'll also get lots of admiration and cuddles from the extended family when they come to lunch. Mind you, I suspect all they want from Santa is a dry day so they can free range to their hearts content. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hayleybug Posted December 25, 2012 Share Posted December 25, 2012 as part of my presents I got one of those yellow treat balls which releases treats when they peck it (i expect they will be scared of it) and a feathers and beaky bouncy veg holder (ditto). i was so annoyed with the weather as there was such heavy downpours today the poor girls didnt get to FR at all so i made them some porridge with mealworms and carrot peelings (they ate around the peelings). Happy Christmas everyone and boc boc to all the girlies! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jenthelibrarian Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 Mine got one of those plastic balls they're supposed to kick about to make 'scratch' corn dribble out of its little holes. They had a go around the grass in the garden, but chickens do tend to pass backwards, don't they, rather than kick stuff ahead of them, so maybe it should be a rugby ball shape I think if they have it in their run it'll get stuck down one of the holes they are digging to Australia [or mining for diamonds, we're not entirely sure what they're up to ] Also got them a grit pecking block and a tub of mealworms.

charly1979 Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 My mum got mine a chicken hamper with diatom, seed blocks and mixed insect treats in it. What a cool mum and what a splendid idea to get my mum for this year (birthday, mothers day or christmas ) I got mine one of those yellow ball things and they didnt get it mind you I expect they are scared to death of all ball shaped items as my nephew and son constantly boot their football into the run (not on purpose) and heaven help any of the girls if they are FR and the boys are playing footie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MedusA Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 I wanted to get them a sprout stalk too but they were quite expensive. They get ours when we have finished with it Chissie That's what I did. They've just about demolished the sprouts now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
