Hanging Chicken Treat Ball

Apparently chickens need a snack piñata.

The Hanging Chicken Treat Ball turns leftover greens and veggies into something your flock has to actually work at instead of demolishing in one pile on the ground. Stuff the 4-inch wire ball with lettuce, cabbage, carrot pieces, or other flock-friendly produce, hang it at pecking height, and let them have at it.

Every peck makes the ball move a little, which means the next bite isn't always sitting exactly where they left it.

Dinner and a tiny challenge. Not bad for a ball full of lettuce.

Fill It, Hang It, Let Them Peck

The wire design holds larger pieces of produce while giving curious beaks plenty of places to grab a bite. A 5.5-inch chain and hook make it easy to hang in the coop or run, keeping treats up off the ground while your flock pecks away.

Try it with:

• Lettuce and leafy greens
• Cabbage
• Carrot pieces
• Squash
• Other chicken-safe fruits and vegetables

Switch up what you put inside depending on what you've got in the kitchen and what your flock goes nuts for.

Features

• 4-inch metal wire treat ball
• 5.5-inch hanging chain with hook
• Holds greens, vegetables, and other appropriate fresh treats
• Keeps treats elevated instead of scattered across the ground
• Moves as chickens peck for added interaction
• Reusable and easy to refill

How to Use

Open the ball, add appropriately sized pieces of chicken-safe produce, close it securely, and hang it where your flock can comfortably reach it. Larger, firmer pieces may take a little more work to pull through the openings.

Rinse after use and allow it to dry completely before refilling.

Like all treats, this is the fun stuff, not dinner. Treats should make up no more than 10% of your flock's diet, with a complete, balanced poultry feed doing the heavy lifting and fresh water always available.
