No no not what you are thinking. Blimey! cant move in here without fnaar fnaar.

Last year Jamie made a load of bird feed balls from seeds and lard. As we dont want to hang them out for wild birds at the moment would they be ok for the chookers? Or is lard a bit strange for a chicken?

You could make them with vegetable fat if you didn't want to use lard.

We had a thread on home made pecka blocks a couple of months ago.. A couple of our members made some, but I dont think lard was used for binding.
