DIY Heart Flock Block Recipe

DIY Heart Flock Block Recipe

Here by popular demand: our recipe for Chicken Heart Treats! 🙌 These are the same heart-shaped treats that everyone loves so much in our Chicken Gift Box.

This base recipe is so great because you can swap out ingredients to fit your flock. It's fun and easy to experiment (and the chickens will love every version that you try). When you make these treats, keep in mind that the "dough" will be very thick. If it's too dry, just add a bit of water, but do not make it too wet, or the resulting treats will not hold their shape. 

Final note on these: make sure that the treats cool off completely so they harden properly. If you remove them too soon, they will crumble apart. 

Other ingredients to try in this recipe:

  • eggs and eggshells
  • regular feed instead of scratch
  • different herbs
  • healthy greens, like spinach or broccoli
  • pumpkin puree
