The Dig Box: Customizable Fun for Any Chicken Run

Well written article! I saw a similar idea to this in another article once, so I've been wanting to read more on this. It seems like it's something that helps with pecking orders and boredom as well and I hope to build one of these (or something similar) for my run someday. Great article!

Very good, thoughtful article, with great pictures that are very clear!

Great post! With scraps and leaves and grass... even sheltering it from rain, how do you keep the contents of the box from composting, effectively? Would it need to be emptied out often?

Looks like a great idea. Will give it a try. I'm off to Lowes.....

I've been scouring the Internet for awhile trying to get ideas on making a dust bath and then this article popped up, and it's perfect...easy, affordable and versatile! Thank you (l'll attach pics at a later date)

Well written, and a great way to add more mental stimulation to an enclosed chicken run! My girls can't free-range, so I am always trying to find ways to keep them busy and happy in their enclosure.

Quick read with a lot of good I formation is the best kind of article! Nicely structured with helpful pictures. Thanks for sharing this awesome and practical idea!

That's brilliant! I've had troubles with chickens attacking each other and other pecking order things, so I might consider this.

Nice build idea and great article!

What a lovely idea! Your hens look so happy with it.

Excellent article and ideas. You did an amazing job!

What a great idea!

A brilliant idea! I love the pictures too. Well explained how to make one.

Awesome article! Great format, pictures, and instructions. What a clever design!

I like this as a way to keep the chickens busy!

I love this idea! Fun entertainment for the flock, and a great article with pictures and materials list so it's easy to make your own.
