An Unusual Diet

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!
