Henny+Roo November 2019 Chicken Box Review
The gross, cold, and wet weather continues, but the girls did venture outside today! I jumped on the chance to treat them and grab some photos for this post.
Our box comes complete with an info card explaining all of the items arriving this month.
Let's see what is inside our box!

Legend's Calendula Salve, 1 oz - Retail Value $14.00
Salves and balms are go-to's for me, especially in the winter when my hands get chapped. Will also has a job that keeps him outside most of the time, so his skin really takes a beating in winter winds. This calendula salve is heavy and moisturizing, perfect for this skin-SOS season. I ended up dropping this little pot into Will's work bag and he has been using it on his knuckles and (in a genius move) the tips of his ears that often peek out of his work beanie and get red and dry.

Flock Party Corn and Mealworm Snack Mix, 2 lbs - Retail Value $6.49
I wanted to thank the hens for braving the gross weather so this party mix was the first thing I opened! It has loads of cracked corn and mealworms, which is basically like the human equivalent of cookie dough to chickens. They are obsessed. I hand fed them a little bit then scattered some for foraging.
Satchel gives it two wings up.

Cedar Crest Layin' Large Rations, size unknown - Buy 10 lbs for $25.00
This second little pack had layer food inside. Though my girls are pretty old and getting an egg is a rarity these days, I still thought they should get to enjoy the yummy blend of corn, oats, and barley. This stuff also has a lot more protein than their typical food.
Here is a rare "chicken grain glitter" shot. They eat so fast they sometimes shatter individual bits and they explode into little corn fragment fireworks.
I sprinkled an additional handful on the ground so they could scratch and peck at it. Hopefully, it encouraged them to also take advantage of the wet day to seek out some yummy bugs.

New Pioneer Magazine - Retail Value $10.95
Will is always excited to get an expensive magazine in this box. The "off-grid" section especially caught his interest, because without me reigning him in, he would totally become one of those preppers living in a bunker in the middle of the woods. As always, this magazine is full of info about a more self-sufficient lifestyle, a theme that works well in a chicken box.

Hydrogen Peroxide, 4 fl oz
I really appreciate when this box sends first aid basics. We actually don't have any peroxide in the house right now (fine, I spilled our last bottle, okay?) and this is an important item to have on hand for injuries to humans, dogs, cats, or chickens, all of which we have in my faux-farm.

Happy Holidays Stemless Wine Glass
This plastic stemless wine glass made me chuckle. It says "Happy Holidays, Mother Cluckers!" on it, along with a chicken and a laurel wreath. I am pretty thankful it isn't glass because I am clumsy! It fits a nice amount of wine, and is truly the sort of holiday tone I identify with.

Henny+Roo Home Sandalwood Candle, size unknown - Retail Value $15.95
I was really surprised to see such a nice candle in this box. Henny+Roo has recently launched a home decor box and this appears to be from that line. It is really, really nice! I didn't see the exact size, but I would guess this large candle is around 16 oz. It arrived in a white porcelain vessel with coordinating lid. The beautiful sandalwood scent was strong and lovely, easily filling my living room. I am really impressed with this addition and hope we see more of these candles in the future.
Laying Box Liner
Our last item comes in every box and is a super handy laying box liner. This helps keep your eggs clean after the hens leave them in the elevated boxes they use to lay. Since our girls seem to have finally stopped laying, we will just use it to add to the coziness of the nesting boxes because they do like to sleep in them.
See ya next time!
The Verdict: As usual, Henny+Roo is freaking CUTE! Even with the dreary weather, my girls love their treats, and I love the items in this box for me too. Will certainly appreciated his new magazine and the super useful-to-have-around peroxide. Normally during this time of year, I experience pretty minimal interactions with my hens (the usual daily visit to open their run, make sure they are warm, have water and food, and look healthy). This box gave me a reason to coax (ok, beg) them to come outside of their run and stretch their legs. It was a really nice change of pace, and with the snow we have been seeing, I hope we can continue the trend.
To Wrap Up:
