A: Multiple chickens can peck at the bag simultaneously. For larger flocks (10+ birds), consider hanging 2-3 bags in different areas to prevent crowding and ensure all chickens get access.

Q: Does it reduce feed waste?
A: Absolutely! By keeping vegetables suspended off the ground, chickens can't trample, scratch, or soil their treats. This means less waste and more nutrition for your flock.

Q: Is it easy to clean?
A: Very easy! Simply rinse the bag under water, shake off excess, and air dry. The mesh design dries quickly and is ready to reuse.

Q: Does it prevent boredom pecking?
A: Yes! Providing enrichment like hanging treats gives chickens something productive to peck instead of each other. It's a great way to reduce aggressive behavior and feather pecking.

Q: Can I use it in winter?
A: Definitely! Hanging treats is especially valuable in winter when chickens spend more time indoors and need extra entertainment and nutrition.

A: Hang it at chest height for your chickens (about 15-30cm / 6-12 inches off the ground). This allows them to comfortably peck and jump without straining.

Q: Can I hang it outside in the rain?
A: Yes, the mesh design is weather-resistant. However, vegetables may get wet and spoil faster in rain. For best results, hang under cover or in a sheltered area of your run.

A: Depends on your flock size! A whole cabbage can keep 4-6 chickens entertained for several hours to a full day. Refill as needed to keep your flock happy and engaged.

Q: Does it come with vegetables?
A: No, the net bag only includes the feeder. You'll need to provide your own chicken-safe vegetables and treats.

Q: Is it safe for chickens?
A: Yes! The mesh design is chicken-safe with no sharp edges or small parts. Always supervise initially to ensure your flock uses it safely.

💡 Stuff It Full – Pack the bag tightly with cabbage or greens so chickens have to work to pull out pieces. This extends entertainment time and mimics natural foraging.

💡 Hang Multiple Bags – For larger flocks, hang 2-3 bags in different areas to prevent bullying and ensure all chickens get access.

💡 Mix Treats – Combine different vegetables (cabbage + corn + broccoli) for variety and extra nutrition.

💡 Adjust Height – Hang it slightly higher to make chickens jump and stretch—great exercise! Or lower for easier access.

💡 Rotate Treats – Change up the vegetables weekly to keep chickens interested and provide a variety of nutrients.

💡 Use Weeds & Garden Scraps – Don't waste money! Fill the bag with safe weeds, grass clippings, and garden trimmings your chickens love.

💡 Freeze Treats in Summer – Freeze cabbage or lettuce before hanging to provide cooling relief on hot Australian days
