Hello,
I have 7 chickens and they seem to be just sitting around looking bored.
They live in a big coop (walk through) and I can't reach the top,
The girls already has log's to rest on, the ground but my 2 leg bars loves sitting on my head and shoulders.

Can you give me any idea's please

Hang a cabbage or ear corn for them to peck at. Also there is a product called 'flock block' that can be suspended giving them something to peck at.

Like sourland suggested, flock blocks are great for bored chickens. I make this recipe a couple times a year.

flock block is great. Here are some other ideas:

How about free-ranging? If there isn't snow where you are, they might like the change of scenery. Or give them a treat. My chickens absolutely love a nice hot batch of oatmeal.
