Henergy Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 Now that the chickens are settling into the cube, I've been thinking about a bit of amusement etc for the girls. I think they need some sort of perch for when the are in the run (they have a bench outside) and I saw these http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/PARROT-LARGE-BIRD-PERCH-TEXTURED-CHEWABLE-LONG-PERCH-/230587266138 Do you think they'd be any good ?

blueandwhite Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 Do you think they would be very long? I've pushed some wood from one side of my run (although it is an eglu run) to the other and my girls perch on that. Just sticks out a bit either end. Also put in an upturned clay flower pot and they like to balance on that. I know others have used IKEA (other brands available!) shoe racks or even wine racks.

Bramble Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 This is interesting! I can't contribute, but am wondering the same thing - how to fix some sort of perch in my new cube run (and what sort of perch to use!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marinah0 Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 We have just pushed 2 pieces of wood through the cube run, one lower than the other like steps, cheap and very effective Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chortle Chook Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 I have two doves and use parrot perches for them but I have found that parrot perches don't really work for chickens. They are not normally wide enough and chooks can find them uncomfortable. You could use small branches or a few different sized small logs. These might have the advantage of a few bugs on them. Yummy if you are a chook Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
