Henny+Roo January 2020 Chicken Box Review
It is still a little too cold for the girls to want to be very active. Satchel is also super broody, meaning all she wants to do is still inside on her wooden eggs. We have always kept wooden eggs inside our laying boxes just because it helps the hens to lay their actual eggs there too, instead of in random places like the run or under the food pail. I did manage to catch them on a "warm" 40-degree morning though and used it as an opportunity to gift them with their new Henny+Roo box.
Dizzy is generally the more adventurous of the pair, so she was more inclined to hop towards the coop's open door. Before we try to bribe some chickens, let's take a peek at the info that arrived with our box.
Our box comes complete with an info card explaining all of the items arriving this month.
Let's see if we can coax the girls outside.
Despite being the bolder hen, Dizzy is always very disinclined to leave the coop without Satchel.
I ended up bribing her with a handful of worms.
When Satchel heard the treats hitting the ground, she did pop outside, but only into the run. They both then proceeded to squabble with each other as chickens do about their predicament.
The argument ended with Dizzy back inside the coop.

Hentastic Chicken Treats with Herbs and Mealworms, 16 oz - Retail Value $5.99
These pellets were a big hit for the hens. These pellets are made of crushed mealworms (yum) and herbs than have antioxidant properties.
When all else fails, hand feed. These are some spoiled hens.
Treats inside the warm coop? Satchel - 1, Megan - 0.

Sweet PDZ Coop Refresher, 1 lb.
While I only have 2 chickens (and we keep their coop super clean and mostly odor-free) a powder like this is nice to toss down in your chicken's bedding because it captures and neutralizes ammonia. It also provides a nice source of grit, which is necessary for your chicken's healthy digestion of grass, grains, and bugs.

Flock Party Corn and Mealworm Snack Mix, 3.5 oz - Retail Value $6.99
The girls will never say no to worms, even if they look gross. I usually like to scatter these around the yard, but since no one was cooperating with me for this review, I decided to just put a pile of them inside the coop.
Satchel always investigates what I deposit with such scrutiny. I can only imagine she is checking for poison, anthrax, or something else terrible as she tends to give me quite the evil eye until she deems my offering suitable.
Dizzy is less cautious, and very nosey.
This pile didn't last long.

Save-A-Chick Electrolytes - Retail Value $2.99
I haven't had lil baby chicks in years, but I remember this stuff being a lifesaver if any of the wee ones became lethargic or dehydrated. My girls are too old for this now, but it is still great to have on hand just in case they get overly hot this summer. These packets are super easy to use because each is individually portioned for mixing with one gallon of water.

Grow, Tend, Love Canvas Wristlet - Retail Value $8.95
This little wristlet is actually precious. It feels very farmer's market to me in the best way. Though I don't think I would ever carry it as a purse, it is perfect for chicken first aid and the loop makes for easy hanging right inside the coop.

Chicken Poop Lip Balm - Buy 3 for $8.95
This stuff made me giggle! I am excited for all of the strange looks when I use it in public. It is very hydrating on the lips, smells like lavender, and most importantly, contains no poop.

Backyard Poultry Chicken Breed Guide
Our last item is a really cute book featuring all sorts of chicken breeds and info about what makes them different and special. When I used to have 9 chickens (years ago) I was really particular about heritage breeds. I am still kind of interested in a few specific breeds and this is a nice general primer.
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 Satchel has decided she isn't done quite yet, these are really nice for her to lay eggs on.
So excited for these frosty mornings to end, though it does look pretty on a Satchel feather. See ya next month!
The Verdict: Henny+Roo is such a treat for my hermit hens. Literally, these ladies have gotten so bored and lazy! It is nice to be able to treat them to literal treats and perk them up a little. I also love how this box is a blend of lifestyle and functional items, as well as bags of treats.
