Chicken outside

Make your own: Spider enrichment feeder

Celebrate Halloween, and give your chickens an exciting new way to eat their forage with this spooky spider enrichment feeder!

You will need: 

  • 8 Empty cardboard tubes (finished wrapping paper tubes are a good size) 
  • Strips of hazel leaves  
  • One plastic bucket 
  • Paper and pens 

What to do: 

  1. Draw your spider’s eyes and mouth onto the paper, and stick to the front of the plastic bucket.
  2. Slot each wrapping paper tube underneath the bucket on each side, to make the spider’s legs.
  3. Wrap branches of hazel leaves around each cardboard ‘leg’
