Coconut Oil Suet Cake Recipe for
Chickens or Wild Birds
Winter is always a bad time for animals, it is the hardest season to find food and a lot of animals die just because they have no food. I found a recipe for coconut suet cakes for chickens but the author says they are great for wild birds too, bonus! These cakes hold a lot of protein and fats animals, especially chickens and wild birds need in the winter time. High-energy and fat-based treats, in moderation of course will benefit the animals greatly.
Coconut oil is a great binding ingredient and also promotes health. It’s also good for their feathers. You can use any natural oil, even pan drippings if that is what you have on hand. Digesting nuts and grains raises their metabolism, and some added fat helps them put on a bit of weight, both of which are extremely helpful in creating enough body heat to keep them warm, especially overnight.
