Run exercise ideas

[archeryrob]

I tried searching online and pull up all kinds of stupid things on chickens. I am trying to build stuff with left over wood to give the chickens a Jungle gym type of thing, My Daughter brought home chickens and I just got finished building and 4x8' coop with 10'x16' run area. The run it 8' tall and has 2x4" fence at the bottom and totally covered with chicken wire. They are way to young to experiment with free ranging.

The polts are only about a month or so old and could still slip between the 2" wire slots. So had to cover that with chicken wire too.

So, anyone have any ideas? I got a bunch of extra wood to saw up and make junk for them to climb on. The girl wants a chicken swing also.

Look up @aart - they have a pretty sweet "jungle gym" of sorts in their photo album. I am sure others do too, but that is the one that comes to mind as I recently saw it.
Use your imagination anything can be used to entertain and add interest in a chicken run.

I just added an upright 2x4 with 4 24" roosts a foot apart going up so its like tree to climb. They are just 5 week old polts and just in the coop from the garage. They don;t do much and aren't very smart yet.

This is a jungle gym from TSC that I have: https://www.tractorsupply.com/tsc/p...n-activity-center-for-6-chickens?cm_vc=-10005 you could probably copy ideas from that. My littles do use it but the hens pretty much ignore it.
