johnandkymberley Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 Hi all, My uncle is giving us 6 hens, I can't believe it really! He's getting rid of them due to work commitments and a house move. They are coming tonight and I was just going to give them some corn and vegetables for a treat. Although just clearing the kitchen from Sunday dinner and I've got loads of sage and onion left over could I give them some of that? It hasn't been near any chicken or on any plates. It just left over in the baking tin Many thanks in advance xxxx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacquiefrost Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 I have only had my girls for about 7 weeks, so not much of an authority on chicken keeping, but i have given mine sage and onion stuffing, and they love it. I don't give them too much though, making sure they have plenty of left over veg. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olly Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 If they are settling in to new surroundings I wouldn't give them anything other than pellets/mash. They may need to settle after the journey and if there are any upset tummies you won't know what's caused it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
