KJ>I've not tried hanging toys in the brooder, but I DO put stuffed anima

That's a good idea - I never thoght of it. Since AGs can be a little well.. 
less than 
sure-footed, a swing would be a good idea. I could hang it so it was low 
enought they wouldn't 
hurt themselves if they fell off. I have used stuffed toys with a single 
chick but with several 
babies in the brooder or the weaning cage, it gets kinda crowded.
BB>I put hand toys such as the Gerber baby toys or a short piece
BB>of brightly colored chain on the floor of the brooder.
Less expensive than the Gerber toys would be kitten toys. They are quite 
inexpensive but are 
certainly now for the birds when they get a little older or stronger.
