I am into woodworking and Garden trains also. I'm trying to incorporate my trains with the hens making trips around the garden and then dropping off their eggs at a model grocery store... wish me luck!!!

Gardening, flower beds, woodworking.

How about chainmail? It's cheap to get started, great if he wants to work with his hands, and makes wonderful jewelry. He also might like making armor if he prefers the bigger rings.

Good lord, I know. That's what got me. I used to play Dig Dug and Space Ace at the video arcades in the early 80s like a mad fool. I even got a part time job with the King just to fund my addiction...seriously.

Try Knitting.

It's not a girl thing and men have knitted for thousands of years.....where do you think fishing nets came from?

It's cheap, keeps my hands buisy, and my wife has ten or so knit caps to keep her warm. I haven't tried anything big like a sweater yet.

That sounds AWESOME!!! My mom really REALLY wants a yard train!!! If your chickens do ride it make sure to take some pictures and share!!!! And ya, good luck getting them to bring you the eggs via the train!

Maybe you could park the train in a coop and have cars on it like nest boxes and hope they lay in them, that's the closest way I'd think it would work! What a cool idea though!!!​

Buy him a really cool chicken...then introduce him to BYC!! He'll never be bored again, but you will have to purchase another computer!!!
