Frozen treats, what to use?

[Connor Bassani]

So it's been really hot lately where I live, and my chickens have been hiding in the shady area of their run all the time so I think they're feeling the heat to. I figured the best thing to do would be to make an ice treat! I'm gonna get some stuff they like, and some water on top, freeze a layer, then repeat. What would be some good things to put in there? I've got some mealworms and those are their absolute favorite treat but I want to put some other stuff in there treat too.

A lot of folks use corn. ....not feed corn but people corn either canned, frozen or off the cob

I use frozen blueberries, frozen raspberries, etc., frozen corn, and frozen soybeans. They seem to like all of them!

You could do grapes, any berries, corn, scratch, boss, or anything else like that. You could probably even put spinach or kale in it for some greens.

When in the cob does it need to be cooked?

Just place regular kitchen scraps in a cottage cheese container cover with water and freeze. Cooked, raw, leftovers, stale... they eat it all. The bigger the block of ice the longer it lasts.
