what can i do to keep my chicken occupied

[castrbl]

my 6 week old hen is an indoor pet but i feel sometimes she gets bored. she doesnt like being outside for more than 2 minutes and shes been in a bit of a slump due to me being less active and she doesnt like other animals. what are some things i could do to keep her happy and occupied?

She needs another chick her age, she is lonely.. a human isn't enough to make her feel happy unfortunately, they are flock animals.
You can purchase a feed ball from TSC in the chicken section, it's just a little yellow ball you put feed in and they peck at it and roll it around. Really, I'm not sure chickens play games like a parrot likes bells and such. They like feed related things mostly

Another idea, go outside and get a pan of clean dirt and let her get In it and scratch and dust bathe.

I completely agree @HuskerHens18, herd animals do not thrive alone . Not sure how you ended up with one ... but it’s kind of similar to an only child , moms ok but they really want friends too

Chickens are motivated by food , food and food . With one bird you’ll have to be cautious of over feeding treats.

Good luck with what ever you decide to do

I agree with having another chicken friend.... my flock 'plays' with parrot toys hanging in the coop, treat balls, anything to climb or roost on....
