Re: [CHICKENS-101] grubs

 

I really think mine have begun to realize that nice edibles (or playthings) often happen when I come in... Every time I reach in over the side they all come a-running over to the pie plate I drop bugs into!
 
I wasn't sure whether one of them might be getting a little pasty-butted (seemed to be only a shaving stuck on, but there had to be something to make it stick), so I gave them a little oatmeal in the pie plate--I'd read somewhere (maybe here!) that could help.  They were all puzzled by it at first, different texture to the crumbles, but pretty soon there were half a dozen pecking away in the plate!
 
Meanwhile, one had fallen asleep with her head *inside* the regular feeder.  Made me think of the videos of kids falling asleep into their ice cream.  (Definitely OK, she got up a few minutes later and trotted around.)
