In our pursuit of ever more products for the poultry world we have
found this lovely POULTRY PASTRY.
It is widely used in the equine world so we thought it might
be suitable for our chickens.
It
is a completely natural, solid block of tasty nibbles of wheat,
seeds, fruit and
molasses
(hence you will find it is very sticky to touch). Molasses was
used,
according
to my old poultry keeping book, in poultry feed in days gone
by, and is
said
to help the hens digestion. Let us know what you think, hang it up
in your
poultry
run and see what happens ...
We
have tested it with our own birds for several weeks, still good even
in the rain
(albeit
sticky!), and they really do seem to love it, but most of all it
lasts such a long
time.

They used to have a cookie, a pecking ring they call it. Also called BOREDOM BUSTER!
You might have to change the name. Call yours the NUMMY CRUMBY
HENPECKING RING? OR HEN HEAVEN, ROOSTER COOKIES. or POULTRY PASTRIES.
You could make them a dozen at a time like cookies. The Brits charge 10$
each and sell the bracket for extra and people ...errr rather HENS line
up to pay it and the owners stand there swooning and cooing at their babies
pecking and making THE DONUT swing, don't they. Oh, you know they do.
For Poultry only; This size wouldn't last long for a horse
