Here are my girls enjoying their first go (and mine) at sprouted grain

 

 

They seem to like it although Shelley prefers it if I hold it so she can just nip off the grain!

 

Anyone have any other ideas for winter greens / hentertainment treats?

[Cat tails]

Just bought myself a white cabbage. Was a steal too! 89 cents (euro, which is about 70p for your lot) for a whole cabbage! That thing weighs a tonne.

Takes the ladies a lot of time to nibble off bits too.

 

They also get Brussels sprouts, cut in half on a bit of binding wire. Cost me about 60 cents for half a kg.

Love your wyandottes, their markings are a lot bigger than the ones I had and I really, really like your pekins

 

I bought my girls a mini straw bale for £4 . They have pecked it quite a bit and Suzie especially likes to sit on it.

 

Sprouts still on their stalks are a good idea for entertainment - if they like sprouts that is

 

Nice raked up leaves are good too - lots of bugs hiding on them, and a good disguise for hiding any treats in - takes a lot longer to find them.

Sprouts are definately not their absolute favorite, but I think the fact that it takes them quite some effort plays a part. But it's perfect for days with limited free ranging time.

Mine usually get a sprout stalk for Christmas but me personally, I can't stand them

Four beautiful chooks!

[sparkysmum]

Absolutely love your chooks, mullethunter , makes me want pekins again

[mullethunter]

Love your wyandottes

 

Thank you. Everyone who sees them days they're beautiful and I'm afraid I am very proud of them even if Amy is a complete meanie. They're looking particularly good at the moment as they're just coming out of their moult.

 

Thank you all for your lovely comments. They are a pretty little bunch - I really like that they're all different. Much as the Wyandottes are stunning I have to say the Pekins are my favourites - they're so friendly.

 

I've got some Brussels sprouts today, so I think for week days (at the moment they're usually getting less than an hour FRing )I'll try threading a couple into a garland with carrot pieces. That should keep them busy for a bit.

I keep treats to a minimum, but at this time of year, when there's less greenery in the garden, I tend to string some greens up, just out of reach. They get discarded outer leaves from my friends' allotment, the darker green, the better.

[Cat tails]

They already trimmed my whole garden of edible (and non-edible) greens.

Have to say, my garden is tiny, so the plants just can't keep up with the hungry beaks of my chooks. So need to add a bit more greens myself.

To help them through a long no FRing day tomorrow

[Cat tails]

Hahaha, brilliant!

Hope they like it! Mine don't do carrots...

[Valkyrie]

Neither do mine - cooked or otherwise. Fussy brats.

 

Lovely birdies with very boofable bottoms. Ummmm for those not knowing what I mean, when visiting breeding centres there used to be a lovely one near Exeter - now moved to Dorchester and the little pekins were close to the fence, so she leaned over and squiffed their bottoms saying "boof boof" as they were so fluffy. So it's become known as boofable bottoms when they have that cute little mound with lovely fluff underneath.

Carrots went within the first day - sprouts still mostly there after three. That'll be me eating the rest of them then

 

They had spring greens today which lasted about 2 hours!
