Hello!
This afternoon I have been experimenting, and trying to find out what treats my chickens love!
I came to the conclusion that they absolutely adore honey and seed filled balls.
This recipe is great for chickens, it gives them protein, fibre, calcium and vitamins.
So here the recipe along with pictures!
What you will need:
Butter/ Margarine or Vegetable fat (I used this because it was what I had left over.)
Honey,
Peanut butter,
Almonds (crushed)
Peanuts with shells (crushed)
Chickpeas (crushed)
Pine nuts
(You can use any type of seed/nut I used these because they were what I had in the house!)
First of all roll the butter/ margarine/vegetable fat into balls (about the size of your palm.)
Then roll/cover the balls in either the crushed almonds or crushed peanuts.
Next cover the balls in pine nuts.
Now smother the balls in either honey or peanut butter.
Roll the balls in chickpeas.
They are now finished.
So all you have to do now is place them down for your chickens to enjoy!
After your chickens have eaten their yummy treats you will get the results of happy hens ... and ones that attack you for more honey and seed filled balls!
Thank-you for reading, please enjoy yourself and treat those chickens! <3
Also feel free to comment and show photos of the honey and seed filled balls and your chickens eating them! <3
