Chicken eating shredded paper
« on: February 11, 2015, 14:50 »
Hello readers,
One of my two chickens eats dropped shredded paper, at times she prefers the shredded to meal worms, which is a little bit of confusion for me.
Is it safe, will it do the chicken any harm.
She doesn't eat a lot just the few bits that I have dropped or fallen from the container.

no it's not really safe and can tangle up as well as it can swell up inside them.
Staffies are softer than you think.
