Help! My chicken is bored

Written by Indy | August 1, 2025

Chicken toys – it might sound a bit silly, but chickens actually love to play. Providing chicken toys is a great way to prevent boredom in the chicken coop or run.

Especially if your chickens don’t free-range in the garden, chicken toys can be a real lifesaver! They offer a fun and stimulating challenge in the chicken run as well. A lack of stimulation in the run can lead to squabbles in the coop. And of course, you want to avoid conflict among your hens and see them having fun. That’s why Beeztees chicken toys aren’t just great for your chickens — they’re also enjoyable for you as a chicken keeper.

Time to discover chicken toys!

Chicken toys come in many different forms, offering a new challenge for your ladies each time! Not only do they help prevent boredom in the coop and add fun to your chickens’ day, but Beeztees chicken toys are also unique. They are made from 100% recycled material sourced from used drink cartons. The paper fibres from these cartons are reused to make boxes and toilet paper. This eco-friendly approach saves the cartons from incineration and gives them a second life as brilliant chicken products!

The Chicken Swing

As you may know, chickens are originally forest animals! In the wild, they often sleep and hide in tree branches to stay safe from predators. There, they gently sway in the wind and rock themselves to sleep. Even domestic chickens still have this instinct. That’s why they love roosting when it’s time to sleep.

A chicken swing lets your chicken follow that natural instinct — to perch and enjoy a gentle back-and-forth motion. The swing isn’t just a place to rest, it can also be used as a lookout post. Chickens love a vantage point so they can spot danger in time. Hang the swing using the included ropes in a shaded area, and you’ll also give your chickens a cool spot to retreat to on hot summer days. Chickens don’t like to sit in full sun.

The Beeztees chicken swing is specially designed to support your chickens’ feet perfectly. It prevents pain, avoids ingrown nails, and allows your chicken to fully relax.
