I think they need something to occupy their time? I put in an upside-down shoe box with shreds of a rag in it and a square hole cut in it so they can get in and out and a small stump of wood (meant for gerbils, not cedar. I thought the box would stimulate a hen if they needed security and the stump so they could peck at something or jump on it. Keep in mind this is an homemade brooder (180 gallon fish tank with a reptile heating light and Carefresh bedding covering the bottom). I put in bowls for food and water, don't worry, the water isn't too deep. I thought they need something to occupy their time.

Do chicks require toys while living in a brooder?

No. But if you find your chicks starting to pick at each other it helps to hang something shiny (like an old cd) and / or colored ping pong balls to give them something else to peck at.


What toys are there for baby chicks?

Chicks do not have much interest in "toys". Eating, growing and learning how to be a chicken is what they are all about. They do not have a long time to be "babies". I do however offer my newly incubated chicks a large stuffed toy in the brooder box for them to hide around and under in place of a protective mother hen. Older hens, especially the more aggressive one's, like shiny objects they can peck at. Hanging an old CD from a string in the yard will often suffice as a "Victim" of aggression and spare the more timid of the hens from abuse.

Toys And Remotes?

There are still some things that need a 9v battery. Most of the things that you need a 9v for are remote control toys and other things that you use a separate controller for. The batteries last for a while because you typically don't use the item that much. Most retail stores have 9v batteries at an inexpensive price.
