lol I got mine a giant bouncy balls hahaha they pick them up and throw them with there mouth and watch it bounce, then run after it again and again. They tried to put it in the water thinking it was food to soften it up to eat it, then realized they couldn't so started playing with it again

i tried balls & a few chicks seemed interested but then most of them were scared of the balls , HA my parrot likes to play with toy balls and then rip them apart but maybe if it were very colorful balls..?the chicks might like them..?

I got cat play balls with a bell on the inside. They could have cared less. even when I put pieces of tortilla in it.
But watch out for Cheerios and Bread !

I snapped off bolted ornamental kale from my flowerbeds. The stems were really sturdy so I took a trowel and buried the stems. My chickens spent the rest of the day pecking at their kale "tree" until only the skeletal purple veins of the leaves were left.

One empty one qt mayo jar, cleaned. Drill four 3/8" holes separated equally around jar, fill with scratch and screw the lid on it. Chunk it in the run.

Chicken experience the world through pecking. When they get bored with that they turn to each other.

After a couple times you may need to make another with smaller holes and make them work harder. My flock can empty one in under a day with the larger holes.
