Winter Boredom Buster for Chickens!

[My Very First 6 Chickens]

Hello! I found a really fun activity for my 5 hens. They love this so much that i am making them in advance! Take small newspaper pieces (nonshiny), and add a little scratch, wrap it up and bomb the run! I hang these as well or stick them in little places to hold them in place, or not. The chickens watch me set them up and chatter away while opening the little treat bombs!

Do they eat the paper??? (Not that i expect them to) Or do you have to go out and pick it up??

The paper composts the same as the leaves. They dont eat the paper. Instead, they rip it, scratch it, and shake it apart until they expose the little bits inside.
