Entertain backyard chickens! #backyardchickens

Подробнее о видео

With shorter days, less fresh greens, and limited bugs to snack on, we find that our chickens sometimes get bored in the winter months.

Here are some fun ways to entertain your chickens during the colder months:
1️⃣ Add leaves or mulch to their run and fill it with treats or scratch-like feed
2️⃣ Let them free range outside of the run
3️⃣ Put them in the garden to explore and scratch around
4️⃣ Build new roosting areas or add stumps to their run
5️⃣ Grow Fodder
6️⃣ Make suet or garland treats
7️⃣ Hang a cabbage or a bunch of kale in the run

My favorite way is adding leaves or mulch to their run!

We add @ScratchandPeckFeeds Organic Layer Mash and Grubs to the pile. You can also add Organic Scratch grains to the pile too! Our chickens go crazy over the Layer Mash and Grub and have fun finding all the goodies 😋
