Verified Reviews for Poppy Peck Toy

I tried to load mixed corn into this feeder but it just fell out as the holes were too big. However, the normal pellets I feed my chickens work and the chickens absolutely love it. I've ordered a second one, as there is always someone pecking away at it.

I bought this for my four girls for Christmas (yes, my pets get Christmas presents too!) And they love it! The only reason it's not 5 stars is because I have bantams and the stick is too large for their small size. I had to unscrew the attachment at the bottom but it wasn't as pointy so doesn't stick in the ground as well.

I bought this toy to give my hens some 'hentertainment' and enrichment - something to do in the dull days of winter. They love it, and it's quite entertaining watching them use it. They do tend to stay until the treats have all gone!

It took my chickens a few days to figure out what to do with it but after shaking it for them a few times they soon got the hang of it. It keeps them amused for a eje and they seem to love it. One thing I hadn't thought of is it you don't clean it out regularly the bit of corn left in the bottom quickly goes mouldy and starts sprouting so if you don't mind cleaning it out or using it regularly then it's a great toy.

My hens love this and it keeps them occupied for awhile. An improvement would be an opening that could slide open and closed on the top for refilling. In order to refill it, I need to remove it totally from the ground and turn it upside down which causes food to fall out. I'm not sure about what is the best grain to put into it. I put mixed bird seeds in it and the small grains(milo, millet just fall out. Probably, just sunflower seeds would work better. I don't use cracked corn since my chickens get this all the time and wouldn't care about getting it out of the peck toy.

My chickens love this and it keeps them entertained. It’s not so good in the rain as all the corn gets stuck in the bottom, but really good for a nice dry day.

My pampered hens love to see the poppy peck filled with scratch favorites. They like it stuck in the ground. My only complaint is that a lot gets stuck in the bottom & they cannot get it out. Not a big deal, if it was hanging they would not have this problem.

The peck toy held the hens’ interest but obviously took a while to work out. The bottom of the pecking order hens couldn’t get near. Corn stayed in the bottom of the toy however but putting in the ground on a slant the corn came out with a good peck.

Slight niggle in that I couldn't get the 2 halves of the stem to screw together, but after a bit of pet safe glue, it's been outside 2 minutes and the girls are now going to town on it.

My chickens soon got the hang of this and enjoy pecking out the corn. Keeps them nicely distracted while I clean out their coop! The only slightly annoying thing is that if it gets wet it can clog up at the bottom a bit. Not a big deal but something to keep an eye on.
