Things to hide under and climb on and things that provide comfortable, shady resting spots. I personally use an old dog house and large wooden wire spools because I can get them for free, but anything from chairs to pallets to old ladders can work too. An added benefit to keeping things like this in the chicken pen is when you move them it uncovers tons of worms for the chickens to forage for!
