Yesterday Barley laid her egg too close to the ramp again. Once more it had rolled down the ramp on to the patio and cracked. I scrambled it and dotted it on top of a dish of mash.
Is this a ploy from Barley! Lay the egg where it will crack and the chooks get to have it as a treat. Okay, I don’t think my girls have enough brain power to think that one through but it’s just a little joke in our house. Barley has insured the girls get a little scrambled egg once more.
I put the dish down and there is a mad scrum to get the bits of egg.

The egg is gone in seconds
The girls really love scrambled egg and it only lasted a few seconds. It disappears faster than any other treat. The mash lasted about an hour before the dish was completely emptied. I always feel this is a way of giving them a treat that encourages them to eat more pellets. I do like to see happy girls.

They are so spoilt but what you can you do when you have pets!
