Hello from Clackmannan, I too boil stuff up for the Chickens and the DUcks, usualy pasta or rice with bits of veg boiled up too as they never seem to eat carrot peel unless it is boiled although sometimes they do..I often add porrage or bits of bread and occasionaly sardines although I did give some regulaly to our dog when she was expecting her pups and will give her some more soon to help build her up!! On that subject, I have always loved great Danes, I already have 2 adult Labradors and 2, 8 week old labradors, one bought from another litter and the other from our litter and 2 remaining with me for a while while thier new owners are preparing for them, we had a litter of 9 pups so no room for a Great Dane Just yet!!!

Hi Sandy
you have your hands full with that lot!
Ihave also noticed they aren't keen on raw carrot!
I am trying not to spend too much on greens and look for reduced veg in the local co-op.  Don't want to defeat the purpose if you know what I mean!

As soon as they see you coming round the back of the house they start a hens choir..maybe I am spoiling them!

Shhhhhhhhh!! don't let my OH know but I often feed them our greens, lettice cabbage etc, so have to buy more, they sometimes get those expensive salad leaves, however, in the summer I collect dock leaves and other leaves that they love, not been out for ages, been here with the pups who were born on 17-18th December, cannot waite to get out with them and do my forraging again.....my freezer was empty last year as I got an injury so cold not go out so much as the previouse years, I collect loads of Wild Garlic and a few other herbs, then Bilberry's, Raspberry's, Brambles etc etc......looking forward to starting again!!!!! I could get some rucksacks for the dogs and they could carry the berries!!

I collect loads of Wild Garlic and a few other herbs,

What other herbs do you collect Sandy? and do you give the wild garlic to the hens? I made a lovely pork, or was it lamb wild garlic and cream cheese roast a couple of years ago but haven't used it much otherwise.
Would love to hear more.......................
