[QUOTE="gcvmom, post: 252740, member: 3444"] Marg, they actually DO nibble the ganzanias -- but since they're not roaming free all day it's only for short periods of time. They also eat the pomegranate leaves now that they're budding out... and I've caught them nibbling the calla lily leaves (say THAT three times fast!). Their favorite place to be is either under the grape arbor digging in the leaves for bugs and wallowing in the dirt for a bath, or under a photinia bush where they've made another dirt bath bowl. I just love watching them kick up the dirt and roll around in it :) As for the eggs, I'm too lazy to mess with a light to speed up production, so when they come, they come. We don't eat a lot of eggs anyway... I imagine we may eat more once the fresh ones are on hand, but I know I'll be giving them away to friends and neighbors, too. Star, I just don't understand why pine shavings in an old plastic bin doesn't put them in "the mood"! Maybe I should make a ROUND nesting bed with a faux fur throw on it and plug a lava lamp in the coop -- I could pipe in some Barry White to further enhance the atmosphere... :p [/QUOTE]
