"Worms"
















I threw a package of bean sprouts into the coop today because they got old before I could use them... the hens gobbled them up. Seems like the "girls" thought they were eating worms!

Treats!















The hens sure do enjoy their treats. Recently, we spoiled them with some mealworms (photo above) and yogurt (photo below). Remi and Coby enjoy throwing the mealworms for the hens to find. Remi tries to be tricky and throws them into the bushes for the hens to find. Coby likes to make sure that all the hens get some, so he tries to throw them closest to the more timid hens. The hens are funny when they eat yogurt because their beaks get all white. It didn't show up much in these pictures though. Minerva seemed to be posing for the camera (last photo)! The chickens can be such clowns!
