Cooked potatoes

[Killerbunny]

SO we have a glut of potatoes (about the only thing this year),
HAs anyone fed them to turkeys or chickens?

[Happy]

Yep. Mine prefer mashed and I don't give them lots (just leftovers). There's a couple that won't touch them but most go crazy over them.

[Killerbunny]

Oh good!!! They won't get the garlic mashed ones though!

[WLLady]

mashed.....definitely! and mine sure make a show of getting it everywhere!
they won't touch raw (thankfully, because i dropped some on the way to the house from the garden), and boiled and oven roasted they just don't seem to like. but mashed they go nuts for

DH's grandma finished her geese on boiled potatoes mashed with rolled oats or oat meal.
The resulting mash has a very specific not unpleasant smell, I still remember it.
Amazing what sticks in your memory, I don't remember one meal we had there, yet I remember what the geese ate.

Mine go crazy and chase each other around when I throw the peelings out. And the mother hens quirr and talk to the little ones, telling them how it should be done.

Mine eat mashed potato as if it's manna from heaven, but very rarely as we hardly ever have leftovers. Both my son and I could eat mashed for days. With butter and evaporated milk, or butter and herbs, or feta and spinach, or add mayo, onion and apple to make a mash salad...mmmmm. To heck with the chickens!

OK so bring a bag round and dig!

KB, I'm coming with a shovel and a nifty trade :D

Ok, after ya all finish digging potatoes, how about a quick trip to my place to pick some apples? I hear pigs love them too
