What can I put in my run to help chicks hid from older flock during integration? Clutter? Hiding spots?

[Browniethechicken]

What can I use as clutter or hiding spots for my chicks in a small ish run to keep them
Safe during integration process with my 15 weeks old pullets? Give them a place to hide and get away if needed. What works well for this that I may have lying around. I need ideas to get this right. My chicks are going on 3 weeks.

You don't provide much background info,,,, Like how big is your run,,,, But let me try with ideas.
Small bicycles. Plastic children's toys, Milk crates. Chairs, and small tables, ,,,,, Anything that you may have laying around. Buckets. Remember that these items are usually temporary.
You don't want something where a chick could get cornered with no escape route. Just use common judgement.
Post some pix of your setup,,, and others may chime in with other ideas.

WISHING YOU BEST,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,and

Flowerpot, milkcrates, plywood either leaning or 2 pieces nailed together (think tepee).

Also non poisonous tree branches work well.

Pallets, concrete blocks, plastic totes laid on their sides (with bricks or blocks set up to keep them from flipping), overturned plastic lawn chairs, and more.
