My friend was kind to offer me an old toy organizer (with plastic bins on a wooden stand). At first I wasn’t sure where I was going to put it, and then I thought: I need it for the chickens! The small bins work well to make super-sized ice cubes, and I think the larger bins will work for the base of nesting boxes.

I put peas and carrots and herbs into a small bin, added some water, and froze it overnight. A little hot water on the base and the cube popped out. The chickens were wary (as usual with a new treat), so we put some meal worms on top. They loved that; the veggies not so much.

I think next time I will try a fruit ice block.
