I want to treat myself. She eats and drinks less than the others only a few nibbles at a time. I gave her scrambled eggs, a piece of apple, some berries I picked and her usually egg layer pellets. She took a long time to eat the treats. But she ate them. Not sure if she ate pellets.Hello and welcome to BYC!

My 8 chickens 4 barred rocks, 4 barred rocks are 2 years old. They have a 4x8 coop and a 10x10 pen and free range most of every day. I keep the coop and pen cleaned each day. They get egg layer feed, water and a daily cupful of varied table scraps to coax them in at night.Hello and welcome to BYC!

Yes, they came through.I posted 4 pictures. Did they come through?
I’m not sure. She’s gone into hiding underneath our shed. I can’t get at her. I think it may be.
