OMG!I have week old baby chicks and had read about chickweed and kinda had that aha! moment. So this afternoon i grabbed a small handful from my yard and brought some into them. Once they found the stuff it was on. They really should call that chickcrack. One would have a piece and the other chicks would tackle and run her down to peck it out of her mouth. There was plenty of the ground of their cage, but they were only preoccupied with the already found piece. This process continued until all the chickweed was gone. Then they scratched and scratched to find more treasure. I videotaped this it is hilarious! and I can't wait until my significant other gets home so he can watch the excitement. It's like a chicken hockey match!

Chicken races --- one of the joys of poultry ownership.
