we use a food chopper (from pampered chef) and cut the apples up just small enough to fit in and give it 6-8 smacks... the chickens don't seem to have a problem cleaning out the "treat dish"...
We just throw them in whole or cut in half. My neighbor who has an orchard tosses way to many in sometimes.... but she is just being kind. She has tossed in apple peelings too which I didn't care for, I was worried about them eating to much and binding up their crops.

I think I'll try something in between your suggestions. Maybe bigger chunks to give them something to work at, and also to keep them from arguing over it. I just didn't know if it should be bigger to peck at or smaller to make it easier. Sounds like I can go either way.
Thanks!
