We feed the chickens lots of lettuce and veggie scraps.  I saw a wire ball for $30 that you could stuff that is intended as a chicken toy.  Basically when the chickens first peck at it, it swings then the chickens run and peck at it until it's empty.  Well, I ran across these clearance suet holders and I must say they work just as well for only a couple of bucks a piece.  More importantly, the chickens love them.  When I take them out of the coop to fill them, the chickens are waiting at the door for me to return.  You can see here, my first attempt with chicken wire, which the chickens liked, but I was too afraid the pointy ends of the wire would poke an eye out.
