What a great how to! Chickens love treats and yours is a good one.
Here are some things you should consider adding to help users following your recipe.
Define SUET and where to get, and what to use as a substitute. Many folks don't know it is the fat around the kidneys of cows and sheep. Most of us think of it as the bird suet and not the butcher byproduct. I use an airfryer to cook bacon and use the lard grease to make my bird suet as an inexpensive substitute.
An alternative to a silicone mold is to use any bowl or container and put a saran plastic wrap layer down first and then pour your mixture on top. You then use the wrap to pull it out of the container after it has cooled and set.
This is a well written article with a great idea, which was well realized. If I don't have suet I might use lard in its place, and less of it relative to the fruits, grains, insects and nuts when I try it.
Did you use a silicone mould? If you use a metal mould, do you need to dust it with flour or suchlike to ensure easy removal?
This was a very fun thread to read And definitely a great activity. i made it for my chickens as they have a birthday coming and I wanted to see if it would work with the ingredients I have. they absoluetly loved it,they all went crazy over it. It was soo easy to make and it was so fun choosing the silicone mouds. This is such a cool acrticle thanks for making it pippin.
I've only used silicone molds but I'm not a baker so I'd assume it's the same as what you'd do for cookies.
