ktdot Posted November 17, 2007 Share Posted November 17, 2007 One of my chickens swallows grapes whole (and half your hand if you're not careful! ) Is this ok? Should I be chopping them up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted November 17, 2007 Share Posted November 17, 2007 I cut them in half. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N&J Posted November 17, 2007 Share Posted November 17, 2007 one of ours (Rita) does exactly the same. all 3 chooks absolutely love grapes, but Rita has the speed-eating down to a fine art. you can almost see them going down her gullet, like a python swallowing a goat...

Guest Posted November 17, 2007 Share Posted November 17, 2007 One of my chickens swallows grapes whole (and half your hand if you're not careful! ) Is this ok? Should I be chopping them up? i cut them up into very small pieces with scissors and then mix them up with soaked granary bread and mushed up banana in a sort of porridge, they love it BUT only black grapes- they don't like green grapes, strange!? I cut them up small as I worry about crop binding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicola O Posted November 17, 2007 Share Posted November 17, 2007 they love it BUT only black grapes- they don't like green grapes, strange!? Mine are the opposite, LOVE green grapes but turn their beaks up at red or black ones Nicola Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
