    Anybody have any ideas for chicken entertainment?

    I just set one in the coop, and had another one outside in the pen. They actually ended up with 3 pumpkins, as I carved one and my girlfriend carved 2, and then brought them over here for disposal. I guess you could hang them up as well. Might have to remember that thought for next year.

    A gatorade bottle with a few holes in it works as well.

    Anybody have any ideas for chicken entertainment?

    I built a pallet table for my tractor that was parked for the winter, mostly as a way to not have the heated waterer right next to the straw as they were always kicking stuff up into it, even when I had it up on blocks. I just cleaned it out this weekend to make it mobile once again. I'm...

    Just got a bag of ear corn today. I've been tossing in a ear every other day or so. Figures it gives them something good to pick at and get good energy into their systems.

    A big jumbo marshmellow. Tonight on AFV they had a video where somebody had tossed one into the chicken run there and the mix flock there was having a merry game of "I got it!" with it.

    Anybody have any ideas for chicken entertainment?

    I had half a jar of Queso Dip in the fridge that had been there a while and I figured that it needed to go away, so I let the girls have it. Dumped most of it out on some weeds that I had pulled out into their tractor, and left the jar upside down to let most of it run out. Came back a little...

    Anybody have any ideas for chicken entertainment?

    I dumped a big armload of weeds into the coop yesterday morning, and then sprinkled some dried mealworms on to the weeds and shook the weeds to drive them into the weeds a little. They had a wonderful day of tearing through those weeds looking for them.

    Pity, I'm sure they would have enjoyed watching them get turned into lunch. And I feel sorry for the horses out there that don't have people out there that will come up and smack horseflies off of them.

    Anybody have any ideas for chicken entertainment?

    I knew a blacksmith when I was a kid who would amuse the kids with catching horseflies and plucking a single strand of tail hair from a horse. He would then then tie a leash around the horsefly and then tie the other end to us kids. Would keep us amused for a while with it flying around in a...

    Anybody have any ideas for chicken entertainment?

    I had myself a big hunk of seeded watermelon earlier and ate it in the coop, spitting the seeds out to my girls. Word of advice, when spitting a watermelon seed on a chicken, take care that it won't bounce off of their feathers and onto the edge of your shoe. That was just a little too much...
