Ours come running anytime they just see us. Pretty handy really. If I want them in the coop, I just go in the coop and they come rushing in. Same with getting them back into the run if they been in the chicken yard. Pretty cool especially if it's been a hard day to have them come running to me. Some days it's good to have someone who's glad to see me.

That's so cool that they are so used to you and know you that your presence is a safe place to run to! ( well, and you might have treats)

Boredom busters ay? Well one of my favourite boredom busters would be Meal worms in a easy accessible tub on a hot day, Its pretty easy, Just find a tub, Line the bottom with bricks (so its not to deep) place it where you chickens can access it and throw in the meal worms when they are looking so they know theirs mealworms in there. Works like a charm, Of course only if your chickens like meal worms!

Fill a peanut butter jar or any kind of chicken safe jar or ball with some feed, grit or treats. Great on a rainy day if they don't want to go outside or great whenever!
