Treat time! All the girls love a bit of long-stemmed broccoli in the evening and will jump up next to me on the bench to have first dibs.
However, broccoli isn’t easy for a chicken to eat, it can’t be gobbled up in a single peck. Sweetpea hops up and allows me hold onto the stem whilst she pulls off the tasty florets at the top then moves onto the leaves.
Gloria on the other hand is far less trusting, she grabs the broccoli straight from the bag and runs off with a full stem, then get frustrated that she can’t really get enough purchase to eat much of it. Eventually she get’s utterly disheartened with the whole task and wanders off.
Life lesson, if someone offers you a helping hand with something, then take it, there are no special prizes for going it alone in life.
