Have got quite a few kiwi fruit left from my daughter's last trip home--I'm not that keen on them--are they ok to give to the girls? There was a list somewhere about things poisonous to hens, but can't find where I stored it!

Mine eat kiwi fruit and they're all still here!
Peelings from the childrens lunch box kiwis mainly, but the odd v squishy one. They seem to like them- the whole thing disappears, skin and all.

Excellent, thanks hmk--morning treat coming up later!Comment

No problem! Hope they enjoyed it.
I've just noticed your username (I think I had my eyes half closed before!)- I'm a Tillysmum too! Is yours just Tilly? Mine's a Matilda really, but she doesn't get called it very often.

Well the girls don't like kiwi fruit at all!
Actually, my Tilly is really a Rachel, but its a long story.....Comment

So, is Tilly an alias the girls go by when they don't want to be identified for some reason or another, things have gone wrong??!!!Gardening forever- housework wheneverComment

LOL! I think it's my son that could do with the aliasOriginally posted by lettucegrow! View Post
Tillysmum-
After I posted my reply, I thought the Tilly could actually be your dog, or cat (or chicken!), and not a 'real' daughter at all
It hadn't occurred to me that she might not actually be called Tilly 
Sorry your girls didn't like the kiwi. I have found that mine are less picky than my mums 2 hens, but maybe with my rabble (13) they know they have to get in quick or the food will have gone! Perhaps afterwards they're actually thinking "Blearghh! I really wish I hadn't eaten that...!"

I think a lot of it is what your birds were used to as they were growing. Coco and Elvis will eat anything (thank you, Lynda), our growers will eat anything, but the POL hens we bought a couple of weeks ago are very fussy.Last edited by bluemoon; 10-05-2009, 06:36 AM.Into each life some rain must fall........but this is getting ridiculous.
