Summer treats for your flock

Although I dream of fall days and cooler weather there is no end in sight for the hot humid weather here in Georgia. For this reason, I make delicious cool and tasty treats for my flock to enjoy on these hot summer days! Read on to see what I use and how to make them for your own flock!


Icy treats full of yummy meal worms, herbs, and berries! What is there not to love! These are SO was to make. You can serve them on a tray filled with cabbage leaves and watermelon, and your flock is sure to be the fanciest and best fed on your block!


HOW TO MAKE THEM


You’ll need:

Muffin tin

Water

Blueberries

Fresh Rosemary

Grubblies

Apple cider vinegar

DIRECTIONS

I start by using my FAVORITE chicken treats! Grubbly Farms. They are the most high quality treat out there. Packed full of calcium, it's not only tasty for them but super good for them. I love knowing my flock is well care for and Grubblies are an essential part of that. They have 50x more calcium than the regular meal worms which is amazing!!

Fill muffin tins with water, add fresh chopped herbs. I like rosemary or basil. Sprinkle grumbles. I added both the black solider grubs and the regular ones! Then pop some blueberries in there and a few drops of apple cider vinegar ( which is great for their health)

Freeze overnight!

Serve on a fancy tray and cake stand because that’s way more fun than a regular plate! You can pop these treats into their water dish as well! Delicious, healthy, and a great snack on hot days.

If you would have told me 10 years ago I would be making frozen treats for chickens and ducks and that I would be touching worms I would have laughed at you. But hey look at me now! LOVING IT!

Almost looks too delicious to eat right? Even the Grubblies look delicious


Ducks, chickens, turkeys, they ALL love it! If you’re also looking for a great feed that has wonderful nutritional value I would recommend their layer feed. My flock loves it and it’s one of the best out there in terms of nutrition and quality ingredients.
