Omlet’s brand new Pendant and Poppy Peck Toys are the great new interactive feed toys your chickens have been waiting for. They combine fun, enriching entertainment with a tasty and rewarding flow of treats.

Simple to install in any chicken coop or chicken run, the Peck Toy can be filled with corn, chicken feed, mixed grit or any other combination of your flock's favourite hard treats. Once filled it is guaranteed to become the centre of attention! Cleverly designed to provide a slow release of treats, the Peck Toy will maintain your hen's interest and keep them coming back for more tasty fun with their favourite chicken toy, time and time again.

Thanks to its carefully designed treat dispenser the Peck Toy releases its contents slowly over a period of time when pecked at by playful hens. This means it not only provides an engaging and lasting challenge for your flock but it is also an ideal way to make your chicken treats last longer. The slow release nature of the Peck Toy also helps to guard against a dominant few hens having all the fun and gives the whole flock a chance to get stuck in.

Not only will your hens have a lot of fun playing with the Peck Toy, it also encourages and provides a healthy outlet for natural chicken behaviours such as pecking and foraging. Unlike with traditional chicken feeders, the random scattering of treats that occurs when the toy is pecked ensures your chickens will have to work for their rewards and it presents them with an interesting challenge. Providing added enrichment and mental stimulation to your hens routine not only helps to keep boredom at bay but it is also proven to improve flock behaviour.

With the Pendant Peck Toy the suspended feed dispenser sways when pecked at resulting in a fun moving target for your chickens to hone their attention on. It comes complete with a meter of string to allow it to be hung from your Eglu run, Walk-in-Run or even from your chicken's perch.

The dispenser chicken treat holder can easily be removed for refilling and cleaning. To refill, simply unscrew the dispenser from it’s attachment and use it to scoop up your chosen treats before reattaching. When cleaning the dispenser we recommend using a non-scratch sponge and washing up liquid in warm soapy water.

Frequently Asked Questions

The dispenser for both versions of the toy measures approximately 15cm x 8.5cm. It has 27 holes of 4mm width spaced evenly around all sides.

The assembled height of the Poppy Peck toy is approximately 52cm.

The dispenser holds about and holds approximately 300g, or half a litre, of feed/corn/grit.
The string is 100cm long.

This handy guide allows you to calculate the optimum number of Peck Toys for your flock:

Using as a treat dispenser: 1 Peck Toy per 4 medium sized chickens
Using as a feed dispenser: 1 Peck Toy per 2 medium sized chickens
Using as a grit dispenser: 1 Peck Toy per 6 medium sized chicken
Try using a different type of treat, preferably something you know then chickens really like, and that is big enough that they can see it. Carefully hit the toys with your hand or foot while your chickens are looking to give them an idea of how they can get the treats out. You can also put the dispenser on the ground to start with so the flock can investigate it before you hang it up or stick it in the ground.
Anything that is big enough not to pour out of the holes, but that is small enough to actually get through them. The Peck Toy is designed for standard chicken feed, corn and grit, but you can try a range of different treats to see what your hens enjoy.

Chickens love it!
Brent,
I bought this together with an Eglu cube and a 2x2x2m run and it is an excellent addition to my set up. I have four Hy-Line pullets and they really do love this toy. I use a seed mix in the toy and it keeps the chickens entertained for hours each day. One of my chickens worked it out immediately, which led to the rest quickly following her example. I highly recommend this product.

Dennis,
The chickens seem to like pecking at it, keeps them amused. The string could be (way) longer.

Christa,
I am using this to give them something to play with, but also to give them more shell grit. So I mixed shell grit with bird seed and hung it in their Elgu. At first they acted scared of it, but once they got the idea, they emptied it over a few days.
