I used most of an overblown courgette to make a marrow chutney a couple of days ago, and the chickens tackled the remainder. I cut it into slices and they pecked it away from the middle outwards. I expected to find the rinds but they ate them too!
Rather a contrasty shot but all four were nestling in dusty hollows they had gouged. When I came out with the camera, Topaz ran up to see if it was edible, but I've caught the other 3 playing 'dead chickens' on what used to pass for grass!

When you called this blog Hen HEAVEN you could not have been more accurate.
It is wonderful to see how contented and happy your girls are, and what a great life they have with you. I do hope that when we get chooks I can look after them as well as you do.
I'm sure you can Bilbo. They aren't hard work and amuse themselves (and us!) for hours.
