Keep your flock active and turn treat time into an engaging activity with this rolling chicken treat ball feeder. Designed for backyard hens and small poultry flocks, this interactive feeder gradually releases suitable feed or treats as chickens push and roll it around their coop, run or yard.

Instead of placing every treat in a stationary dish, fill the ball and let your birds investigate. As chickens peck and move the feeder, small amounts of food are dispensed, encouraging natural searching and foraging behaviours. This makes the ball a practical chicken enrichment toy as well as a fun poultry-feeding accessory.

Encourages Natural Foraging

Chickens naturally spend time scratching, pecking and searching for food. This interactive chicken feeder provides an additional activity that can keep birds occupied and mentally stimulated. It is especially useful when your flock has limited access to changing terrain or needs more supervised activities inside a secure poultry area.

Regular enrichment may help reduce boredom by giving chickens something interesting to explore. Individual birds may require time to understand how the feeder works, so introduce it with familiar treats and allow the flock to investigate at its own pace.

Easy to Fill and Use

Using this poultry treat dispenser is straightforward:

1. Open and fill the ball with suitable chicken feed or treats.

2. Secure it correctly before use.

3. Place it on a clean, level surface in the coop, run or yard.

4. Let your chickens roll and peck the ball to release food gradually.

The durable design is made for repeated use and can be refilled whenever you want to add variety to your flock’s routine. Clean it regularly to remove leftover food, dust and moisture, and inspect it for damage before returning it to the birds.
