I was taking pictures of some meds and my chickens were out and showed a little too much interest in the buds.
I don't mind if they help themselves to some pieces of shake, but they were eyeing up the buds like it was a big bug that needed to be shaken into bits and eaten.
That's usually how they treat big pieces of food, they shake it to break it into smaller pieces.
If I had to guess, I would guess that many animals have cannabinoid receptors. I have never seen the chickens study something so much before nibbling at it.
The wood is Zebra-wood. In the pic where the chickens beak is poised on the Zebra-wood, it's like it's trying to figure out what on Earth those little bud bits are - and if they're edible.
One other note about Chickens and Pot - they have no hesitation about eating live pot.
Never let a chicken near a live plant in vegetation unless you want the plant to get a major hair-cut.
Normally when it comes to eating plants, chickens will nibble on a few blades of grass, or a blackberry leaf or something.
With cannabis, they shift into a higher gear. The one time I let 3 chickens into a room of plants with a lot of pre-flowering shoots, they went berserk. At first it was funny, then I realized, "oh SHiT, they're eating my PLANT !" and I had to kick them out.
I would grow pot in their enclosure if it weren't for the laws. For sure, it is one of their favorite plants.
Last pic is some Apollo 11 I was photographing.
