I put an old truck cap in my run. Works out good on snowdays. Also in the summer they can get out of the sun if they dont want to go back into the coop.

I hang a cabbage so they have to jump a little to get at it,keeps them busy for hours.I'd like some ideas of things to put in the chicken run to
a) keep the girls from tearing up the earth floor into nothing but big holes (someone mentioned putting tires?) from dust baths
b) plant material for the inside
c) things to keep them busy and interested
The issue at hand is that my girls used to free-range for the past two years until recently, when I've had to keep them in a run due to them getting into the neighbor's property and tearing up his garden. It' a good sized run, but they hate it since they've lost their freedom and I've noticed that they've started getting testy with each other now that they are confined. Until I can build some chicken tunnels for them, I need some options.
Also, I'd like to know how many chickens you have for your run, how big is your run, and are they large fowl or bantams. Thanks in advance!
