They didn't last very long though!!

Brilliant idea , i think someone also did it with peas. How did you hang it up. I have the cube but with a small door and find it hard to get things to dangle from the roof. Actually i think it might be impossible unless you are very bendy

[Daffodill]

I'm going to try that one

[Tutti Frutti]

Fantastic idea! My Roxy just takes one look at the bowl of mealworms I carry in to them and knocks it clean out of my hands every single time, the minx! This'll mean it takes her much longer to scoff the lot

[dixie chick]

Loved that video! Your girls looked and sounded soooo excited! What sort of chickens are they? They all looked similar - just different colours. Looked so gorgeous and healthy ....

[docsquid]

Nice idea. Mine go completely nuts when I appear with the mealies. Megan tries to fly up onto the box every time. I don't know how I'd get past the reception committee to hang it up, though.

Ah, what lovely noises they are making. It didn't take long for them to figure out that they have to peck from underneath. The white one (sorry still learning and don't know the breeds yet) didn't seem to be getting very many though.

Ah bless little Snowy..she was a bit slower to catch on /deferential to the big girls!!!

 

I will definitely do that with my girls...at the moment we have a plentiful supply of corn cobs .... but we these will run out sooner or later

[Chucky Mama]

That is so funny, I don't know about chicken stimulation it kept us entertained watching the video for ages

[Egluntyne]

Genius! I should patent the idea.

[chickiepiggies]

they always seem to know when the worm are coming out, they hear the lock go on my shed and the door open and they all come running.

 

they even recognise the white bag they come in, i found muggles aggressively scratching an empty white bag one day poor thing thought it had worms in it....they not stupid thems chickens

 

did anyone notice snowy take the worm out sootys mouth at the end!!
