A huge pile of straw, compost, weeds, sweetpotato vines, leaves, woodchips, etc to scratch through is among the best "toys" for chickens I've ever seen. They just LOOOVE having stuff to scratch through. It reminds them of their ancient heritage scavenging in the leaf litter of the jungles of SE Asia. That's why DLM is so brilliant. Also placing rotting pieces of wood in the run--bugs will move in under the wood and you can flip them over at your leisure for some exciting chicken fun (they soon learn what it means when you flip a piece of wood, and when they see you reach down to grab one, they will gather around faster than you can say "crunchy cockroaches").
A pile of weeds and rotting leaves, free... couple pieces of rotten wood, free... hours of chicken entertainment... priceless!
