Chicken Treat Threat

I made a bad batch of frozen cream flavored with mint and containing chocolate bits.  It was not only too salty but the plastic bag I was melting the chocolate in melted.  Last night I impulsively decided to give it to my chickens.  Reason intervened and I looked up the effect of chocolate on chickens.  It turns out that chickens don't do well with chocolate, like most animals.  When I got home from the temple today I went out and removed the threatening globs of melting cream and chocolate.  Later I made a new batch of better tasting frozen cream with mint and chocolate.  So far I have flavored the cream, which I freeze in an ice cream freezer, with peach lemonade and banana flavor.  I think I will try some rootbeer flavored treats.  They are sweetened with stevia which I find tastes better with a small amount of salt added to temper the aftertaste.  Today I ate lamb, steak and frozen cream, both peach and chocolate mint chip.
