Micro and Pipette really, really LOVE having chilies. Especially Micro.
Its a good thing. I am a proud mommy, because chili for chickens keeps away infections, cold, and apparently chilies have some kind of chemical that keeps them strong and immune to germs.
So everyday I mix 3-4 chilies in their food and Micro will first them out (she is quite choosy. likes sweet fruits and well, chili), gobble them up, and then eat the rest of her food. If she likes it. If she doesnt, she will just give me this disappointed look and maybe eat a little bit.
Pip, on the other hand, will pick up the food 10 times, drop it 10 times, make a "chuck-chucking" noice ( which means he is calling his partner to come eat) and then he too will gobble up the food. Or sometimes he just scatters everything with his feet.
And like Pavlov's dog, they are classically conditioned to have lunch at 3 pm, i think. Because, the moment its about to be 3, Pip will scream his lungs out.
Oh those babies.
