Toys for my baby chicks.

[ChickForLife]

What toys should I give my baby chicks?

A piece of sod from your yard will entertain them!!!

Ok, thank you.

Any other ideas? We do not have sod/grass (in AZ)

Chicks love to look at themselves in the mirror! If you had a little mirror you could put it in there with them

Great idea, thank you! I'm new to raising chickens but already in love!

If you give them sod, make sure they also have chick grit. As for toys, a small branch they can perch on, a bowl of sand they can bath in, blocks of wood they can play king of the hill on, or a pile of pine shavings they can climb and then kick and scratch in.

My chicks like this ramp I had laying around. It's a piece of wood on a block at an angle. They love to climb it or jump off it or try to fly into it. I have a metal washer that's shiney on a sting too but they only occasionally seem interested in it.

I hung an old CD and a old tp roll from the hardware cloth covering the top. I'm not sure if they love the twine or the cd more ... but they like it. I also have a couple of branches and a rock (both are smooth)

I draw little dots on the inside walls for them to peck at. I have a miniature roost for them to practice on as well. On warm days if I have time I put them outside for 30 minutes. I've never tried sod in the enclosure but I have chicks coming in a week and would love to try it!
