Banana Snack

I wonder what Midnight thinks of this squishy banana? I can tell you, our hens love all kinds of fruit and vegetable scraps (except for citrus fruits). Chickens will also eat small animals and meat scraps if they can. In fact, I looked out the window the other day, and there was one of my hens with a dead mouse hanging out of its beak! It had been thrown in the field from one of our mouse traps and Pepper picked it up. Yuck!! Chickens will attempt to eat practically anything; they love styrofoam and more than once have eaten holes through pieces of insulation they got their little nosy beaks into!
