what do chicken keepers put in the chicken run to keep them entertained. iv got 16ft long by 5 ft wide run so plenty off room to put things into. i would like to put a dust bath in and a ladder of some sort by after that im open to suggestions

I've got:

 

Peckablock

 

Treat Ball ( for hamsters - but they love it)

 

Some greenery on a string

 

A branch to perch on, go under, climb up

 

 

A plant pot with soil in and which originally had a dandelion in - but has now been tipped up, the dandelion eaten and roots and soil systematically dissected - great fun

 

It's kept them busy whilst this white stuff has been around.

Along with feeders/drinkers, my little monsters have 2 string bags with cabbage and apple in to chomp on every day (lettuce in summer), and 2 peckablocks.

 

I put the old wooden roosting bars on top of 2 cheap shoe racks to give them something to perch on and a tunnel to walk through - you'd be surprised how much they love this - and they also perch on my stone bench, the 2 dustbins, the bedding bale and anything else they can get to. I don't think they get bored

PS I should have explained that the Treat Ball can be filled with anything you like. I use either layers pellets or mixed corn or a mixture. It's the fact that it trickles out a grain/pellet at a time when you kick it that keeps them entertained.
