Ardene5 Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 Hello everyone We have had an idea for perches which we would like to pass on. Yes there is the normal branches for trees but we wanted something to sit on whilst we were with them in the run. What we have found is the old fashion wooden folding seats works wonders we can used them when in and the hens can when we aren't. Found them at an army surplus and outside clothing store there web page is................ http://www.feltons-uk.com and there phone number is Preston 01772 204200 open 6 days a week. They were very helpful and friendly.

moomin Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 Hi Ardene5 Those look brilliant, I've been looking for ideas for a seat or bench for them to perch on, the garden benches some folk have I don't have the room for in my run. These take up a lot less space and are really cheap, thanks for the info Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sheik Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 Wooden chairs are great shapes for chickens, and they'll love perching on the seat and back rest. The only problem is possibly of hygiene. Droppings will accumulate in all the little gaps, so you should probably chemically clean it fairly regularly (for red mite even if nothing else). /\dam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
