CatherineH178 Posted April 24, 2010 Share Posted April 24, 2010 We have bought some pecking ball thingies from wilkos today which are aimed for wild birds. Just wondered whether these are suitable for chickens?? They have got some sort of meat product in them. Does anyone know?? If they are not then I will just leave em out for the birds ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christian Posted April 24, 2010 Share Posted April 24, 2010 The feeding balls for wild birds usually contain suet and aren't really suitable for hens. It can make them fat. Let the wild birds feast on them instead Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poachedegg Posted April 25, 2010 Share Posted April 25, 2010 Though you can't feed these to chickens - I bought a fat ball holder from WIlkos (about 85p) and stuff it with cauliflower leaves/old salad/cabbage etc and hang them up in the run - keeps them entertained!
