They love to grab them and run around madly with the dangling curly noodle taunting all the others to chase! I also offer them Four Way, mixed grains with molasses, for a bit of variety. Or the pressed seed blocks sold for caged birds by the same token, which can be hung. Or a whole flake of alfalfa hay, which the hens love to scratch, peck, and otherwise dissect, leaving clean coop litter along with entertainment, roughage, protein, and lots of calcium for strong shells. It's just not as much fun to watch as Ramen, though :^)Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09294119135629297824noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7294106768431510384.post-80973286808086062742011-02-05T00:13:44.125-05:002011-02-05T00:13:44.125-05:00I use one of those suet holders - carrot trimmings...I use one of those suet holders - carrot trimmings, stale bread, lettuce or sprouts past their prime; The Girls are stealing from the compost heap!!

Love those chicken socks! Great idea...Hi Lauren!<br />Love those chicken socks! Great idea's by the way. My chickens love cottage cheese..it's messy but they love it. I just put it on a heavy sandwich plate and they peck away. My chickens pretty much free range a large area including my veggie garden. There is a fence protecting them from coyotes foxes and other critters and they have a large sheltered area besides their cozy coop. They also have access to our compost heap so they are HAPPY chickens. I'm getting a visual of chicken socks on my rooster Romeo ;) Hope you don't get buried under all that snow coming your way. It's just starting here in Kansas.
