This was a DIY idea I had to use for vegetables and any old titbits that the Hens love. It is made from a chimney pot mesh - we use these in the UK to stop birds from nesting in the chimneys. I then used an old trampoline spring and a little old rope to suspend it..

What a great idea, I bet they'll love it! Mine eat all the goodies too fast, that would keep them occupied much longer.
 
A longer term approach I have adopted is allowing between 50 and 100 persimmon trees to grow to fruiting size. The provide edible fruit for at least 45 days. Birds eat ground fall and I take select fruit from branches. Down side is most trees accessible only when birds free-ranging and some trees beyond current free-range area. Ground fall easy to collect and can be used to fill hanging baskets as shown in first post.
