I’ve been using carabiners to hang slices of watermelon for the chickens for awhile. It keeps the fruit away from the ants and dirt! I’ve found it also works well to hang cucumber, which is great because the chickens usually flip the cucumber skin side up before they are done cleaning out the flesh. Silly things.

For the chickens. I know meal worms are high in protein, but I don’t personally want my salad to wriggle. The chickens loved it though! I chopped basil and oregano, then sprinkled the live meal worms on top. I used a strainer to get them out of the drawer, so some of the oatmeal came with them, which actually adds a nice touch to the look of the treat. Not that the chickens care about presentation as long as it is fast.
