Turns out chickens will play with their food if you give them the right equipment.
The Farmer's Market Chicken Peck-N-Play Ball turns leafy greens, herbs, and veggies into something your flock has to chase around before they can eat it. Stuff it with a few favorites, set it down in the coop or run, and watch your chickens peck and tug while the ball rolls around and the bell inside jingles along with the chaos.
Basically, it's dinner and entertainment.
Stuff leafy greens, herbs, hay, or appropriately sized pieces of vegetables through the openings. Set the ball on a relatively flat area of the coop or run and let your flock investigate.
Some chickens will understand the assignment immediately. Others may need to watch the smart chicken figure it out first.
Rinse with warm water after use and wash with mild soap as needed. Allow it to dry completely before filling it again.
If you're filling the ball with foods outside your flock's regular ration, remember those extras count as treats. Keep treats to no more than 10% of the overall diet and provide a complete, balanced poultry feed and fresh water.
