    Morning chaps - fed watered and at my desk - slobber on in the slow cooker for the chookies as its still freezing here

    Lots to get on with for work this weekend so I am endeavouring to ignore any household stuff and crack on - cuppa time every hour or so to keep focussed (on my tea drinking it would seem!)

    Hugs and hellos to anyone about!

    Hiya
    Well mine don't like onions, lemons, melon skins etc so if they're cooked they seem to tolerate them - they also seem to be lazy and wont eat veggie peelings but will eat them if they are cooked

    Otherwise - slobber consists of anything in the hen bucket which is chucked in throughout the day, any peelings, couple handfuls barely from the stash in the shed- a bit of stale bread from holiday (yes I did bring a carrier bag of it home (no chickens at OH's):rotfl:)

    Any scraps of packets on stuff in the cupboard that aren't really being eaten etc

    Its disgusting - but they are freezing their bottoms off at the moment - so I feel sorry for them at the mo

    Morning EH!!
