Chook Food...

Whenever I find these, they get thrown into the chook house (that's chicken house to the uninitiated

)

By the way, its cooler today and currently bucketing down. We're getting the remnants of tropical cyclone Isabel which is joining a deep trough over eastern Oz.

PS: Thanks for the id assistance on the previous critter posting guys...

Boy they look like they were tatooed by the Māori people of New Zealand. Does each snail have a different pattern? Natural food for chickens is good. I like "bucketing down".....it`s Like raining "Cats & Dogs"

I've never really looked that closely Doug. Maybe when I find the next batch I can compare. Luckily (for our plants) we don't have too many.

The poor things! The snails that is, nice patterns to them. Good subject for the stereomicroscope, don't you think?

Ah, but then I would have to go and retrieve the shells from the chook house
