How do I know if my girls are too fat?
« on: April 08, 2009, 17:05 »
They eat, and eat, and eat. Free range, pellets, corn, currants  :tongue2:... I guess they don't self regulate their intake, so how can I tell if I am overfeeding them?

They are very active, running and flying about all over the garden whenever they can and scurrying about their run when they can't!

Thanks all

i'm thinking of getting fat Lois into the healthy eating lifestyle club, she'll probably do better than me (she doesn't like chocolate).............................
