chick toys?

[AmeraucanaHank]

hi,
I have eight 1 week old chicks in a 80 gallon tub as a brooder. I put somesticks in there for them but they still look pretty borid. But I don't know what to put in there for them. Does anyone know what I should do?

You could put a mirror. There is also chick xylophone. You could try those.

Mirrors, clumps of grass, dirt….

They love grass and dirt. Just make sure to put grit in there brooder.

I usually break off a random branch from a bush in my yard. They seem to enjoy breaking off the leaves.

Another item that I add is a practice roost - just a rod elevated a few inches off the ground so they can practice before going into the main coop.

Ok, but why do I need it?

They need it to digest stuff other than normal food. You should be able to get it at your local feed store.
