My girls love a nice worm or 20. I feed them dry ones, I dig up live ones. The video is of me giving them some dried mealworms (I hope).
They like egg white, too, so I cut off a lot of the fried white and give it to them. They go mad for it.
Today they each laid me an egg. Then this evening, I went out to give them some worms, and found them eating some raw egg. It didn't seem to have a shell, just some flabby beige thing, so from the programme on hens I saw the other week, I can only assume it was not yet properly formed. How one of them passed it I can't imagine. They certainly enjoyed it, though.
CANNIBALS!
Ew. Clearly I am not cut out to care for farm animals! lol I don't go near worms!
ReplyDeleteWe used to use mealworms for fishing bait. Honestly, when you asked if they were good it sounded like they answered you!
ReplyDeleteThe worms,no problem.The chicken eating chicken-egg whites or raw whatever...creepy!Heck it's tough for me to eat anything with chicken and eggs in the same dish.Too 'Mother & Son Reunion' for me!

ReplyDeleteI hate to mention another MAN on your site Val, but perhaps they saw one of Sly Stallone's movies when he was eating a raw egg shake. Hahaha. I slay me! Cheers!!
