Cage Cups – Feed Enrichment System
 
A Different Way to Present a Complete Diet
 
Cage Cups are a simple, practical enrichment tool designed to offer your flock’s nutritionally complete chicken feed in a more engaging and natural foraging-style presentation. Instead of offering additional foods or treats, Cage Cups help transform the way birds interact with their daily ration.
 
By hanging cups around the perimeter of the run or coop, feed becomes something birds actively work for—encouraging movement, curiosity, and natural pecking behavior.
 
🐓 What Are Cage Cups?
Cage Cups are individual hanging cups designed to hold standard chicken feed. They are positioned at different heights and locations around the run so birds must move, peck, and explore to access their feed.
This creates a more dynamic feeding environment while still maintaining a complete and balanced diet.
 
🌿 Why Use Cage Cups?
Chickens are naturally driven to forage. In modern setups where feed is typically provided in a single stationary feeder, that natural behavior can be underused.
 
Cage Cups help to:
Encourage natural foraging behavior
Increase movement throughout the run
Reduce boredom-based pecking behaviors
Provide environmental enrichment using their existing feed
 
🧠 How It Works
Fill Cage Cups with your chickens’ regular complete feed
Hang them along the perimeter of the run or coop
Adjust height and spacing for flock size and activity level
Allow birds to peck and forage throughout the day
 
🔧 Installation Tip
When installing Cage Cups onto hardware cloth or wire fencing, slightly bending the mounting tabs outward can help the tabs fit more easily through the wire openings for a more secure attachment.
 
No additional supplements or treats are required—the enrichment comes from the presentation, not changing the diet.
 
🏡 Where to Use
 
Cage Cups work well in:
Chicken runs
Integrated with enrichment systems like Flock Roll
 
🔄 Designed to Work With Your Feeding System
 
Cage Cups pair naturally with your existing enrichment approach, including systems like the Flock Roll, by adding variety in how feed is accessed, not what is fed.
This keeps nutrition consistent while supporting behavioral health through environmental design.
 
⚖️ Important Feeding Note
 
Cage Cups are not intended to encourage additional foods. They are designed to re-present the nutritionally complete chicken feed in a more engaging format, supporting natural behaviors without diluting nutritional balance.
 
💡 Ideal For

Small flock setups
Coop designers looking for low-cost enrichment options
Keepers wanting to reduce boredom and increase activity
 
🐔 Simple. Functional. Enriching.
 
Cage Cups turn everyday feeding into a more natural experience—supporting healthier behavior through thoughtful design rather than dietary change.
