> My chicks are pets, egg-providing pets, but pets none the less. For those of you who keep chickens as pets, do you include bird toys in their coop/cage, like those sold for other species? Rachel and Paula are still in their brooder cage, but I can't help but feel the urge to provide them with some type of enrichment activity, the same as I do my dogs (like providing them with a freshly-planted veggie garden to destroy) and my cats (bringing chickens into the family for them to stare at)....
