Boredom Prevention?

[jhamblin]

With winter on its way, Is there anything that you can do to keep your chickens from becoming bored? any "Toys" or tips?

Nope just let them be chickens, let them out to scratch around & do what they always do.

Flock blocks, hanging heads of cabbage/apples, a couple bags of autumn leaves with handfuls of scratch mixed in, live crickets bought from a pet store and released into the coop, melons and squashes cut in half and left on the ground, rye grass planters inside the coop are a few toys I have used in my coops to alleviate boredom.

Good luck.

Kind of expensive but when I can get some sweet corn on the cob and toss it in the coop, they will peck every kernel off those cobs!
Oyster shell is fun for them to eat. I sprinkle some near the water dish and they peck it up.
Meal worms are fun also.
Mostly getting outside as much as possible but since we live in a snowy area, sometimes I need to find toys also.

Best advice put leaves in their run.
