I‘ve done this before – offered my chickens a cabbage to play with – but this year we have a jungle gym for them in their run and it has a built-in cabbage hanging pole. I know they are cold and bored, so I strung up a head out there and an hour later it was already half gone.
This play structure was my husband’s idea and who’d have known that they would love it so to have a platform to jump onto? Perhaps after we get some snow drifts they’ll love it even more. They sure don’t like walking in the snow.
What a good idea! I think those chickens are lucky to be living at your farm.
Thanks. The happiness is mutual.
Been gone awhile but so glad to see you have still been here typing away! Always love to read your posts about life on the farm. I am still toying with the idea of chickens of my own..
Actually, my computer was in the shop for a couple weeks, so I have been away, too. I think a lot of us get distracted this time of the year.
