Hi,

Wow, I cannot wait to try all these treats. The fact that these hens have had not treats or special attention before makes it even more exciting. The slugs are just arriving on the veg patch where there run will be, after years of morning slug tours - I relish this. The next question slug-wise would be can they have too many? I have some fab neighbours who are very excited about the chooks. (Offers to look after them when we're on holiday already received.) If they donated their veg patch slugs too in return for eggs, could the hens get...too over weight or imbalanced digestion if their diet was otherwise carefully maintained? Also I love the yoghurt treat, it makes such good sense but I never thought of it. I'd heard of hanging greens for enrichment as well as treats but wasn't sure which greens. Thanks ever so much.
