In fact chicks are really “good eaters” and enjoy their “five a day” if they are given to them. So we leave the fallen pears on the ground, stamp on rotten windfall apples, throw them any wasp damaged plums and yesterday I gave them the pulp left from the raspberries after I had made a container of sorbet.  Today we had a bowl of split tomatoes and they are pecking away at the seeds and flesh.  Well done chicks – such healthy eaters.
