stonekins Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 Hi, sorry if this has been asked before. I just wondered what other people use to entertain their chickens. I get the impression that my girls are a bit fed up with their area. We have 7 girls in a 12ft square run which is covered with bark. In our last house, our previous chickens had a huge grassy area to free range on, but sadly, in this house, we have to confine them to a run. So my question is, what can I do to give them a bit more to do? Has anyone put in branches or cd's to peck at? 2 of them are constantly trying to escape which makes me sad as I think it's because they're unhappy (which I'm sure they're not! ). Anyway, any advice would be gratefully received about how to distract my disconsolate girls! Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 You could give them a **Pecka Block** or a cabbage to nibble at to keep themselves amused. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
missuscluck Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 Hang broccoli or a cabbage up on a string dangling at head height for them to peck at. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
