clucker1 Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 Mash potato I mean! Well for the first time in 4 years of chicken keeping I gave the girls warm mashed potato for tea tonight ( I am normally too stingy and use any leftover mash for our dinner !) Anyway, I have never heard them so quiet before....it was if they had entered some kind of sensual feeding world! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bill2b Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 Ours like a handful of mealworms mixed in, needless to say after we have finished with it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gavclojak Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 My girls adore a jacket potato....bliss Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chortle Chook Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 Hmm, I did this once but the results were not good - everyone had a runny bum ... I suspect the melted butter was too rich and have not done it again, though they did love it as you say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dancing cloud Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 Ooh! found some leftover mash in the freezer the other day and wasn't sure I had a use for it. Never thought of giving it to the girls I'm sure they'll be very grateful to you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LunaKiw1 Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 Yes, ours like mashed potato too, often with 'sprinklings' of toast crumbs from the toaster or 'toppings' like tomatoes that have gone a bit too soft or a few mealworms or grapes!

kinsk Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 I always freeze our left over mashed potato but any potatoes that are past their best in the cupboard I do a mass bake and give them to the hens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chickabee Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 What a great idea. No more throwing away potatoes for me then, but they can't have the ones that have gone green, is that right ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
