When I'm able to catch a grasshopper (it seemed so much easier when I was a kid) I hold it up to the outside of the run and whomever is closest grabs it right away. The funny thing is that usually she could probably eat it in peace, except she takes of at a dead run making this excited noise and then all the other pullets take off after her for a game of tag. It's like they can't help shouting "I got something! I WON!" which attracts so much attention that she's likely to loose it to one of her flock mates. So silly and fun to watch!
