Chicks and chickens need stimulation and entertainment to stay healthy, and a healthy, happy chicken is one that will behave better, lay more eggs, and be a more pleasant barnyard or backyard companion. Fortunately, there are many easy ways to keep chicks entertained that don't require expensive equipment or elaborate assistance.
When Chickens Get Bored
Boredom can affect chickens in several ways. While general listless behavior is not necessarily bad, a bored, unhappy chicken can develop poor behaviors such as pecking or aggression, causing problems in the flock. Bored hens typically lay fewer eggs, and bored chickens will not be as alert to potential predators. Boredom can lead to stress, and stressed birds are more susceptible to a wide range of illnesses and poor health, but by keeping chickens entertained, the flock will be healthier and happier.
10 Great Ways to Keep Chicks Entertained
With just a few simple materials and creative thinking, it's easy to keep hens, roosters, and chicks entertained.
The most important thing to remember to keep chickens entertained is diversity – offering the same distraction day after day will cease to be effective as the chickens get used to the game, toy, or treat, but by changing the options, the birds will always have something new to look forward to.
