Sprucing up the coop for Christmas? Keep it light and easy for your feathered pals. Toss some lightweight and safe ornaments around – think ribbons, garlands, and non-toxic trinkets. Fancy a mini Christmas tree? Grab some untreated wooden blocks, and deck them out with leafy greens, berries, and munchable decorations. It's a win-win – your chickens get a blast, and your coop gets a festive makeover.

What's a celebration without a feast? Your chickens deserve their own Christmas dinner extravaganza. Toss in seasonal treats like apples, cranberries, and carrots. Don't forget the homemade suet cakes loaded with seeds and mealworms – a chicken delicacy! And for that extra cozy touch, serve up warm treats like oatmeal or scrambled eggs. Just steer clear of chicken no-nos like onions and garlic.

It's a sweet, personal touch to your Christmas celebration.
