15 Best Chicken Toys To Keep Your Flock Entertained

Because sometimes chickens need to have fun too!

Country Living editors select each product featured. If you buy from a link, we may earn a commission. Why Trust Us?

There’s more to raising chickens than buying a backyard coop (or going the DIY coop route) and decorating it with some charming amenities. Chickens require entertainment as well, not just for their happiness, but for their overall health. A lack of stimulation can lead to physical and behavioral issues for these birds. If you're wondering what kinds of toys chickens like to play with, there are lots to choose from. Think about climbing toys, swings, mirrors, and toys that involve treats. We've rounded up our top picks below.

As with any toys for animals, keep safety in mind. Regularly check to make sure the toy hasn't been damaged, and keep an eye on the flock to make sure they're playing safely. Make it a habit to wipe down the toys periodically. If you ever have concerns about your chickens' health, talk to your avian vet.
