Help with my coop

[Happy hen lover]

Make sure their run has plenty of space -- a minimum of 10 square feet per bird -- and make sure their run has plenty of "clutter" to give them the opportunity to do chicken things.

This thread has loads of information on that: https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/a-cluttered-run.1323792/

Here are a few specific suggestions: https://www.backyardchickens.com/articles/blocks-bricks-and-pavers-the-critical-chicken-keeping-equipment-the-“chickens-101”-articles-don’t-mention.76003/

Other good chicken entertainment options include a straw bale with one tie cut for them to tear apart, a big pile of leaves raked out of your yard, or all the non-toxic weeds from your garden.

This is my run:

I agree.

And when I do food as entertainment I make them work for it -- putting into a pile of pine straw or throwing greenery into different piles in different parts of the pen.

You know that place in mystery movies when they walk in and say "someone tossed the place" LOL

I feed things in too big portions so the fatso that steals it has to drop to peck at it and then the next hen steals it and on and on. But mine aren't terribly agressive.
