Lesley-Jean Posted January 12, 2006 Share Posted January 12, 2006 You wait till you try them on meal worms. They would kill large dogs for them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mel (& Paul) Posted January 12, 2006 Share Posted January 12, 2006 You wait till you try them on meal worms. They would kill large dogs for them What about a medium sized whippet cross, a smaller terrier cross and a small shih-tzu(with the emphasis on the first syllable....) Might be another deterent to use on the woggles as well as the hose Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PurpleHen Posted January 12, 2006 Share Posted January 12, 2006 I can't feed my two treats anymore as they hurt my hand two much with their pecking Such a shame as I'm sure it means they are not as friendly as they could be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mel (& Paul) Posted January 12, 2006 Share Posted January 12, 2006 Could you put some gardening gloves on? Or put the treats in a bowl that you hold? It would be a shame if you couldnt "hand" feed them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laura007 Posted January 12, 2006 Author Share Posted January 12, 2006 thing is they have had mealworms and didnt peck me to bits! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PurpleHen Posted January 12, 2006 Share Posted January 12, 2006 Gardening gloves - why didn't I think of that Seems too obvious - will give that a try and also feeding with a bowl. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chocchick Posted January 12, 2006 Share Posted January 12, 2006 I'm lucky, Trinny has a chipped and therefore more rounded beak which hurts less, Susannah isn't as bothered by barley grains so I only get a little sharper pecking. My OH made fun of me has he has HUGE hands and chunky fingers and can't feel a thing, and was amused by my soft small womanly hands. Should try worm/slugs, but not in my bare hand eughh You should have seen the scratch OH got from Susannah. He didn't avoid the talons (nails pah they are too viscious to be nails) and got a scratch from wrist to elbow on his inner arm. Chicken injury sounds quite amusing as thay are so cute and fluffy, but some bits of them are viscious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
