Do you recommend these treat nets?

[Chicken love to infinity]

Hey guys! I am getting a new chicken coop and would love to get these treat holders as a fun activity for them. However, I was worried that since the holes are big, could a chicken stick its head in and get stuck. In my old coop, I had that overhead netting with big holes, and my hen jumped so high she got her head caught in the netting and we didn't find her until hours later, in 98 degrees, dying in seizures. We tried to save her but the wire was wrapped around her neck and she suffocated. I really don't want this to happen again (which is why I got my chickens a new coop) and want to make sure the same thing won't happen. Thanks!

I have two metal treat holders that hold the treats in place. I don't know if I would use netting, they will peck and eat the netting too.

I have two of them, one on each side of the run. Works great!

You're welcome!

Genious idea! How long have you had them for? How long do they last?

 

[SmiYa0126]

A year. They will last forever, solid construction.

I use skewers.

I'll order some. My chickens used to be free range but with leaves falling and the weather getting cooler, there are just too many predators. I ordered them a coop with a bigger run and am ordering these for boredom-busting activities. Thanks so much!
