My big girls decided to stop being freeloaders.

So a corncob without any of the corn on it?

with all of the corn on it until they eat it off. basically a corncob. but pinata sounds much more fun.

I like this idea and I want to do it for our chickens when we get them and they grow up! I must tell my daughter. Any particular kind of corn? Sweet corn from the grocery store?

I do something similar but with a head of cabbage. Just hang an eyebolt from the rafter or ceiling of the run/coop and screw the eyebolt into the hard core of the cabbage. It swings around as they peck it, it's fun to watch and the cabbage will be gone by the end of the day! And if you use a purple cabbage, their poop will be blue!

Whatever corn
On the cob we find - we did cabbage they took a long time to figure it out

I told my teenager about corn chicken pinatas. She was giggling and wants to do this for when we have big chickens.

I've done this with apples, zucchini squash, and yellow squash, I'll have to try corn on the cob. Sounds like a hoot for your girls

Hi I'm deb and I have chickens.

I've done many posts on my different chickens and their personalities.

The o.g. girls as my husband calls them are Lucky Clucky an old english game hen and Henny Penny a welsomer.

the party girls are my mille fluer d'uccles Confetti and Fiesta who joined the flock in early feb along with their bff's the big ladies Queen Latifah a black autralorpe and Wynona the silver laced Wyandotte. Peeper McNugget a leghorn joined the coop in late feb after she got done being brooded/ whelped/ growing up some.

I was getting ZERO eggs. then I got one pink egg a couple days after the party girls moved in. a very small one. then NO MORE EGGS. the day daylight savings time kicked in, the party girls and Henny Penny became pretty reliable with the pattern being 1,1,2,3 0 1 4 as to eggs per day. then Lucky Clucky joined in - hers are white and a tiny bit longer. the other are all pink. so now I had 4 little girls laying and the big ladies were total freeloaders. I had taken them not caring what age they were so I figured maybe they were in retirement. well I started giving them sweet kale salad in the mornings and then last week I got one big brown egg. I had seen Wynona nesting so I figure it was hers. It was a tiny bit misshapen but not too bad. This weekend when I was gone my husband did chicken duty - and I must admit he did pretty good except forgetting to put down new bedding and feeding them scratch only - and we got 7 eggs, 3 of which were big girl eggs so the other chicken Queen Latifah decided to lay too! Anyway my girls are happy and learning chicken tricks and getting treats They love getting their corncob pinatas! View attachment 1732378 And Peeper McNugget is 17 weeks so should start laying soon!

Well, in their new home they probably feel like they are happy, clean, well fed and well cared for
