I poked a hole through the melon with a long skewer, then threaded butcher twine through it (using the skewer). Then, I securely knotted a large washer at the bottom so the melon wouldn't slip off. The butcher twine was plenty strong enough to hold it up.

There's a pic of our failed cabbage tetherball here: http://oneblockdiet.sunset.com/
Our chickens are crazy about broccoli leaves and kale, so I think they just didn't like the pale storage cabbage. You're right, patandchickens.
ScrambledEggs: Your chickens are just less picky than ours, I guess.
I just bought a cabbage and hung it up on the coop, hoping for some cabbage "tetherball." No such luck. Our chickens absolutely hate it, both hanging up and if you tear off leaves for them. Won't touch the stuff.
I think they're spoiled.
Do yours like green or purple cabbage?
Next, I'm going...
