Chickens' Love Pasta

Did you know that chickens' love pasta?

Well ours do and we like to give them some as an occasional treat.

You do have to be a bit careful though, because they can become so partial

to carbs that they won't want to eat their layers pellets and egg production

will go down. So it's a good idea to give each of them a handful of layers pellets

in the morning before serving treats.

Of course this doesn't apply to the chicks who will be on chick crumb.

Quail on The Chicken Daily

We are waiting patiently to see if our second broody hen

manages to hatch any of the eggs she is sitting on.

We should know after the weekend.

In the meantime here is a photograph of our quail.

Chicken Dust Bath

Chickens love their dust baths and of course they are essential to their wellbeing.

They bathe in dust to rid themselves of any nasty parasites

that may have attached themselves to their feathers.
