Cabbage snack:

Dig through the squash:

A pumpkin or squash broken open on the yard is fun for them to dig through. It also naturally attracts worms. Once they are used to broken squash, you can place whole ones in the yard for them to peck at. It is also a good one for Halloween, that is if you’re willing to give up your jack’ o β€˜ lantern!πŸŽƒπŸŽƒβ˜ οΈπŸ˜‰

Chase the watermelon:

Cut a watermelon in half. It rolls as they try to eat it. You can also cut it into rings and tie them up so the chickens have to work to get them. Frozen cubes work well here too.πŸ‰πŸ‰πŸ‰πŸ‰πŸ‰πŸ‰πŸ‰

If you have a bag of frozen cranberries, roll the bright, shiny berries all over the ground for them to chase.πŸ‰πŸ‰πŸ‰

Jump for the cucumber:

Dangle a cucumber through a rope so they can jump up, peck at it, and eat it. πŸ₯’

  1. What? A lettuce clothesline!! Sounds like a fun idea for the chickens.
    Maybe this would be a good idea to use when I introduce the new chickens to the old flock (a fun way to distract the big girls) Thanks for all the ideas.
