My tale of chicken woe

Toys... well, they have perches and things to hop on. I tried the "apple on a rope" idea twice now, but they always pretend like it's not there.

Things you can try adding that aren't food: wood ladders and sawhorses, old patio furniture, pallets or scrap wood with nails covered/removed leaning against a fence, planters with dust bathing materials - the aim is to give them a variety of things to explore that get them up and down and under and around. Piles of hay or dried leaves or grass are good boredom busters too - just dump it and the chickens will busy themselves digging around and reorganizing it for you.
 
Mine have a swing do not think they ever use old ladder on it's side they love to perch hawks cannot get them defunct framed carport no tarp on it but chicken wire over it and a apple tree been growing since 1935
