The other day I was grabbing some grub from the farmers market and spotted a pile of starfruit just begging to be bought.<\/p>\n
Now usually I’m more of a banana or apple guy when it comes to fruit, but something about those crazy star shapes just screamed “take me home!” So I tossed a few in my basket.<\/p>\n
Little did I know the questions those starfruits would spark with my flock.<\/p>\n
Chickens can eat starfruit in moderation as an occasional treat!<\/strong><\/p>\n But overfeeding them this exotic fruit could cause some digestive distress.<\/p>\n As soon as I got home, dozens of darling cluckers came running (or shall I say, waddling hurriedly?) to greet me.<\/p>\n One feisty Faye even had the guts to peck at my shopping bags! “Whoa there lady, I’ll get to your goodies in a sec,” I chuckled.<\/p>\n But when I pulled out those starfruits, you should have seen the looks on their faces – pure confusion!<\/p>\n I’m sure they were thinking “WTH is that weird star thing?!?” Curiosity getting the best of them, a few brave birds gave the fruit a taste.<\/p>\n And to my surprise, they gobbled it up!<\/p>\n Table of Contents<\/p>\n
