I'm new to this chicken raising, learning/researching tons a day it seems! :) I was wondering if the (empty) cardboard paper towel roll would be an ok toy. I threw one in and my 7 week old's enjoyed trying to stand on it and take turns carrying it around. After, I thought maybe I shouldn't keep...

...here's a better picture of my BA as a chick (sorry I don't know how to put more than one picture in a reply box)

Here's what my Black Australorps looked like as chicks...just to compare.
