Here's your sign to give your chickens a bed

Our take

Here’s your sign to pamper your chickens with a cozy bed! I’ve discovered that my feathered friends absolutely adore lounging on a cat bed I keep outside. Stripes, my favorite chicken, has claimed it as her throne, and it’s a sight to behold! While they don’t lay eggs there, they sure appreciate a comfy spot to relax. I even tried an old pillow stuffed in a lemonade feed bag for an alternative, which they use but don’t love as much. The best part? It’s easy to clean! Plus, for a fun activity, fill an empty soda bottle with grain and let them peck away, or use cute treat-dispensing balls. Chickens deserve a little luxury, don’t you think?

I have this cat bed I keep outside for the cat, and for some reason my chickens absolutely love laying on it especially this girl here her name is stripes, they don't try to lay eggs in there or anything they just like to lay on the bed, I actually took an old pillow and put it inside of a lemonaded feed bag and gave that to them, they don't like it as good as the straight pillow or a plain cloth bed but they do use it, and it's a lot easier to clean cuz I can kind of just wipe it off instead of actually having to put in the washer, she's clearly not using that one at the moment though she ran the cat out of the bed and took this one, bonus tip you can put some grain inside of a empty pot bottle and leave the lid off and they will play with it to get the grain out, you can also use those treat dispenser dog balls if you want something cuter
