We put rocking chairs out in the run. The last storm beat the chairs up but you gave me the idea to put them out in the run to see if they would use them. Our girls love the chairs. Our rooster doesn't seem to but the girls do. They use it to their advantage at treat time to get higher than everyone else. Chickens make me happy.

Been raking the old leaves from the front yard garden beds and bringing them to their runs. Threw in a bunch of grubs on top and they were busy for a while. Freecycle is my friend. If anyone has that in their neighborhood, I got mirrors from there which is hilarious to watch my ladies check themselves out. I made a swing too and I never see them on it but I see marks on the bar so I am sure they use it. These silly birds, we love them so :)

I'm in the process of re-doing my chicken yard. I really liked your idea about hanging "shiny things" around the yard. I have a bunch of old CD's that'll be perfect. I've already planted some elderberry bushes around the chicken house, and they love them. I have a couple of handmade ladders that they like to perch on that I found a couple of years ago. I put them inside the chicken house for their nighttime perches. I found a toy xylophone at a thrift store but I haven't figured out the best place to mount it yet. Thanks for the great ideas!

Do the hawks not get in the trees? They do in our neighborhood.

To an extent they do, yes. But we have red shoulder hawks who are smaller and there are lots of dogs and cats in the neighborhood so I think they figure the risk is not worth it.
