Hmmm, there's purple onion in it and lots of garlic. Chicken stir fry ... Well it will be served for breakfast and we'll see what they leave behind.
I know the chicken will be gone first lol

Given the choice between regular and basmati, the chickens will ignore the regular and choose the basmati.

Interesting, given choice between Iceberg and any other greens/lettuce, they will ignore iceberg, perhaps we should pay more attention to diet preferences of chickens?
