Top 8 Boredom Busters for Backyard Chickens

Great ideas. Missing the most obvious against boredom and to keep your chickens healthy: Free ranging.

Can only be done in daylight if the environment is reasonably safe. But your chickens also benefit when they can free range for an hour each day under supervision.

All of these are great ideas! I have tried the scratch bottle game with chicken feed inside of it, and unfortunately none of them touched it apart for the only flock I have that is not free-range. I call them the Gemstone Flock and I try to find new things for them to do, and they always enjoy the bottle game!

Love these ideas. I can't wait to try the 2 liter bottle game.

I love these games, can't wait to try them out!! Just wondering how should we spruce up out chicken pen? How can I add more perches aswell?

This is perfect! My yard happens to have hardly any grass (mostly sand) and I know I'll be looking for some creative ideas to keep our chickens happy and healthy

This article made me smile! I have to try some of those chicken toys
