Want your chicken to model boredom busters!

[PhilSanchez]

I am creating an article, consisting of a list of boredom busters, how to make them, and more! I need a few pictures, of boredom busters, and hens playing with them! I need pics of ducks, and chickens alike! I will give credit for all the pictures! Thank you!
Ps. Sorry, its not a real product line! I do need you pics though! Weather is bad here and not great for taking pictures!

A million leaves this time of year keeps them busy, flock block when not free ranging, certainly going to get a mirror in there, what a great article, thanks.

Make sure it's a child safe mirror because you don't want them to break it

I don't have a picture but I take a cabbage and cut it most of the way through, leaving the core end whole. Then I tie a long loop of string through the cut and up to a nail on the beam that runs down the middle of their covered run. I make the line just long enough that they must jump to peck at the cabbage.

I love the xylophone idea.
We have made a little ladder that goes up to a suet feeder type thing. We have also created a treat toy they kick around. Took and old plastic container (like one for metamucil) cut slits in the side at random intervals. Then we fill it partially with meal worms. When they kick the container, it rolls and dispenses the meal worms.

I took 2 baskets and made a cage for treats to hang. They love it. It swings and when several peck it, they seem to really enjoy chasing it!

There are mirrors specifically for chickens on amazon, that are really cheep, those should be pretty safe.

Ohh, I will add these pics, I have another picture of some apples on a string, but I will add these to the hanging food bag section!

I screwed a screw part way into the run frame and literally stuck a banana (peeled) on it and they LOVE it it's hilarious XD

My husband made this in an hour with $1. worth of popsicle sticks from the Dollar Store for our baby Speckled Sussex chicks! They loved it and would play on it all the time until they got too big!
