Chicken entertainment?

[chickensforever]

I'm looking for ways to "enrich" my chickens' lives with things I can do to help entertain them in their pen. So far I thought of hanging treats (apples, lettuce, etc) from a guinea pig / rabbit "kabob" treat holder, and leaving a hose trickling into the pen b/c they love running water. Does anyone else have any ideas?

Our girls aren't much for toys, but they love a big clump of grass (roots and all), or a big pile of grass clippings or straw. They love to scratch around in the grass looking for treasures

They've also expressed some interest in broccoli tops and sturdy strings tied securely to something so they can pull at them.

I have thrown in bird seed. It takes them a long time to pick up all those little seed and keeps the bullies from picking on the rest. I spread it out so they have to keep looking for the seeds.

Thanks for the ideas.
