Want your chicken to model boredom busters!

I got one of the treat dispenser ball things at tractor supply but I was going to save it for a christmas present for them.

Here's one of them enjoying the chair that I put in. Could maybe be used for cluttered run or wooden structure?

Yes! I will use this!

Just realized that I have one that has one of my girls enjoying leaves-however, this is out free ranging, not in the run. Still want it?

My family and I put a chicken pinata of sorts into out coop. It's basically a t shaped plastic thing on a rope of twine, horizontal part down. we put fruit like strawberries and stuff on it and they peck away. I will try to find a pic.

Unfortunately I never took pics when I put that haybale in their run. The hay took over. There was no run-only hay.

I have 2 pics atm you might be able to use. I think this is a great idea! My birds love chairs so I second those (It's a bit blurry because I had to zoom in to take it, I didn't want to scare them off.

And fodder! I grow it all winter for the birds. I only have a pic on my new phone of the quail eating it, but it might still work, Idk. Here it is anyway.

Also, in the summer I fill a deep pan with water, and then pour in corn. Just enough to cover the bottom is all you need, but sometimes I add a little more. Then put it in the freezer for a few hours or overnight. Then dump it out in the run (I dump it in a sled and then put it in the run so it doesn't get yucky, and then they can drink the water when it melts) and watch them enjoy. They love it.

You kind of have it captured with grass and leaves...but my flock’s amusement is a compost pile!

That is awesome! I am putting together pictures of them playing with toys, and boredom busters with just cluttering, and adding things to the run.
