Redwing Posted July 2, 2010 Share Posted July 2, 2010 The IKEA wooden slatted show racks seem to be a favourite on here CLS wood from timber merchants 2" wide is good - is slightly rounded at the corners which is ideal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poachedegg Posted July 2, 2010 Share Posted July 2, 2010 Ours like broom handles which we (well OH ), pokes through either side of the run and secures with cable ties. We also have a mezzanine level made from old cube wooden roosting bars and freestanding perches - so they have plenty of choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lillybettybabs Posted July 2, 2010 Author Share Posted July 2, 2010 Thanks guys, I'll look into these ideas, This is my first bird that likes being off the ground and she looks a bit squashed on top of the wheel ,bless her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted July 2, 2010 Share Posted July 2, 2010 Broom handles are not ideal as they are rounded,but anything squared would be fine. Mine have lots of interesting logs which they like to perch on too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lillybettybabs Posted July 2, 2010 Author Share Posted July 2, 2010 Iv'e just found a nice piece of thick flat beading in the other halfs "junk cupboard" that fits ok if i secure it with some cable ties. She's sussing it out already. Thanks guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plum Posted July 2, 2010 Share Posted July 2, 2010 You could make one of these to go in the run Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jill the potter Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 You could do a roaring trade with that design Plum! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plum Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 I don't think so it was very rickety so have remade it since then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pipistrelle Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 I showed it to our carpenter mate (making the WIR), he said someone had too much time on their hands philistine I think it looks great and the chickens obviously like it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
