Keeping Chickens entertained

[<3 N.C Chicken Chick <3]

Good ideas, but if I get an flat screen then its going in MY room.

Mealworms could work, maby My chickens look board when I come out and there just standing there, and when I walk up they all run up to me like I'am the most intersting thing in there world

Do you guys know anyone on here who has an chicken swing, toys ect?

Mine always seem entertained when I put something new in the run. Straw, food, sticks.... Just something new to peck at.

We give our chickens an expensive and secure coop and run, good food, fresh water, nice treats...and we're supposed to entertain them to?

Really?

Give them a bale of wheat straw...

Put them all inside the coop as you scatter scratch, bread, greens, or any other treat on the floor of their run. Then cover the floor with a thick layer of leaves, shavings or grass clippings. Then just open the door. It taks a while for them to inspect the new look of the run, then they have a ball finding the treasures underneath! If a tomato gets soft before we eat it, I toss it in the run for a quick game of chicken soccer...and I do mean quick!

My girls love their treat ball. They were a little skiddish at first but figured it out. They get excited when they see me grab it to fill it up. They "kick" it all over their run.

DH made a chicken mobile one afternoon. They loved it. Check out our Youtube video:

Thanks guys. All these ideas are great. How long dose it take them to learn to kick the ball?
