    How to entertain chickens

    When I watched my chickens bathe in dirt in their coop expansion fence,it looks like they were very bored.It kinda makes me feel sad for them:( Like the only thing they do in the coop is eat,drink,sleep and laying eggs. How do I entertain them?

    How can I improve my coop?

    The chickens go roam on our field,so we thought the coop was not important unless they were going to sleep.Since I was a huge Newbie to raising chickens,this did not turn out well,poop and spiders everywhere and the eggs are very dirty.What can I do to improve it/clean it?

    Do I need a heat light when it's hot at night?(Baby Chicks)

    We give them fosset water at room temperature.We clean the bottle every two days.Do I need rain water instead?

    We also keep our little flock in a plastic brooder box in a warm garage,so the sun won't beat down on them
