Boredom Prevention?

[Mattemma]

I would put scratch or BOSS on the litter in the shed.They like to scratch around a lot. I tossed in apples. Added a litter box with dirt for dusting. Created different levels with straw bales for them to hop around.

I have never seen a bored chicken, they will find something to do.

I haven't either. Even when shut in their run they are scratching in the dirt, or dust bathing, or doing the same things they do outside.
Never seen one just standing around twiddling their thumbs.

If you have space or a run, put a bale or flake of hay/straw...they are like kids in a pile of leaves!
