foraging toys for chickens
Posted: Sun Dec 08, 2013 11:00 pm
Hi All
My friend has two hens that she keeps in her backyard. They have a reasonable size run but they used to let them "free-range" quite a bit until one of their young hens got bitten by a snake and died. So now, they only let them "free-range" when they are out with them and can watch them. My friend was asking me about things that could keep them occupied in their chicken run. She has a worm farm and she loves it when she feeds them some worms. I thought she could try putting the worms in a Kong toy. Does anyone else have any foraging ideas for chickens?
