Oooh! Ahhh! GRAPES!!

Not only do they love chillies, they are also quite mad about grapes. They love grapes. If you mix grapes with their daily food, they will pick out the grapes, and just gobble them up. And there is no limit to their grape intake...so ultimately their poop is black in colour (violet-black, due to black grapes).

If daily food got no grapes, then Mike and Pip will just turn their face and walk away.

Cluck. Cluck.

P.S- The pic above is not of my chickens', but some other's, but its eating a grape too.

chuck chuck puck!!

My babies have so much to say! The sad part is...I dont understand their language. But they understand what I am trying to tell them. I tell them to go inside, they go inside. I tell them to be quiet, they do so. They see me and they jump up and down and have a lot to say. I don't get them.

Seems like humans are stupider at some things.
Only, we are stronger than them.
That's all.

Chilly Chickens

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.
