We love chickens! And we love cheap! Get our quick list of some of the best dollar finds for the chicken run.

Why spend more than you have to? We are a family of four who like to live conservatively (read: cheaply) so I have no shame in getting stuff at our local Dollar Tree. Read on for a quick list of what I currently have as the best dollar finds for the chicken run.

  • Command Hooks to hang things like scoops and tools
  • Cat Litter Scoops to clean out the PDZ or bedding in the coop
  • Mirrors for decoration and for a chicken diversion
  • Trash Cans for cleaning out the coop, or nesting boxes
  • Clips for Trash Cans help keep the trash bag in place
  • Storage Bins for nesting boxes or for other storage
  • Dry Cat Food as a protein-rich treat for your backyard chickens
  • Solar Lights to decorate and add security to the chicken run
  • Flowerpots and Dirt to add plants to the chicken run
  • Artificial Flowers if you prefer to decorate with synthetic flowers
  • Scissors for various tasks like clipping wings
  • Bandages for treating bumblefoot or other ailments
  • Outdoor Decor to make the space colorful
  • Fake Eggs to help chickens lay in the nesting boxes and not peck the eggs
