This 'Grazer Ball' is designed to aid natural foraging and enrichment for your chickens. Grass offers excellent health benefits, being high in Vitamin A, B6, and C, plus iron, which is known to help produce healthy rich yolks and is great for gut health. The grass also contributes to the protein content of the balls, aiding in building and maintaining healthy organs, muscles, and tissues. Produced in small tubs of 25 balls, Feldy recommends scattering a few in the coop to help with boredom and entertain your chickens. This innovative pecker treat ball has no fillers or binders and is free from palm oil. It can be used in a fat ball feeder or scattered on the ground, providing necessary nutrients. It's the perfect boredom buster for entertaining your chickens, high in oils, protein, and calcium for eggshell and feather quality. Flavours available include Garlic (good for immune system, egg production, natural gut flora), Seaweed (good for egg quality, immunity & gut), and Mixed Berries (enhanced vitamins and minerals, encourages eating). This product can also prevent feather pecking by keeping the birds occupied, thus reducing aggression.
Feldy Chicken Grazer Balls are designed for chicken owners looking to enhance their flock's diet and provide mental stimulation. These treat balls, made with chopped grass, aid natural foraging, boost nutrition with vitamins and minerals, and can help prevent feather pecking. While they offer significant benefits, they should be used as a supplement and not a sole food source.

FAQs
How many Grazer Balls should I give my chickens?
Feldy recommends scattering a few balls per day for a standard flock size. Adjust based on your flock's size and activity level. They are a supplement, not a main meal.
Can I leave uneaten balls out overnight?
It's best to remove uneaten portions after a day, especially in warmer climates, to maintain freshness and prevent attracting pests. Store the rest in a cool, dry place.
What are the main health benefits of the grass in the balls?
The grass provides vitamins A, B6, and C, plus iron, which supports healthy egg yolks and promotes good gut health in chickens.
Are these balls suitable for chicks?
These are designed for adult chickens. For chicks, it's recommended to stick to specialized chick starter feed.
Can I use these in any weather?
Yes, but be mindful that in very wet conditions, the balls may break down faster. In hot weather, remove uneaten portions promptly.
Which flavor is best for promoting egg production?
While all flavors offer general nutritional benefits, the Garlic flavor is specifically noted for supporting immune systems and egg production.
Do these balls contain any artificial ingredients?
No, Feldy Chicken Grazer Balls have no fillers or binders and are free from palm oil.
Troubleshooting
Chickens ignore the balls
Try introducing them gradually, or place a few inside their regular feeder initially to associate them with food. Ensure the area is calm and they have time to discover them.
Balls break down too quickly
This is normal behavior as chickens peck and forage. If you desire slower consumption, use a fat ball feeder.
Attracting pests (ants, flies)
Remove any uneaten portions within 24 hours, especially in warm or humid conditions. Store the product properly in a sealed container.
Chickens become aggressive over the balls
Distribute more balls to ensure less competition, or use the feeder method to regulate access and reduce territorial disputes.
