Unsecure chicken perches

No, not dog. Chicken!

 

 

See today's blog post (katesklucks.wordpress.com) for the whole story. Basically I got Chicken Gym for Christmas and just tried it out today.

Brilliant, I've done it with canes, planks and plant pots but love the hoop and tunnel. Where did you get them

[Kicks]

Lol, it's called Chicken Gym and the only place I've seen it is Brooklamds Garden Centre lol

Although after a quick search I have found;

 

 

Perhaps I will start a chicken agility forum

How funny they do anything for food. There was a post last year of a video on youtube of a chicken who did a series of activities and then rang a bell. It wasn't following food, though they got food at the end.

 

Can anyone remember the video

[Mrs_B]

I love your videos! My OH really wants me to do the same sort of thing with my chooks after doing a couple of videos myself last year...plus chickens always look fab on camera

 

Your chooks are certainly enjoying themselves...and the sweetcorn

I actually saw the chicken gym for sale today at our local horse stuff and pet food warehouse... I didn't get one.

Thanks all, ah it's just practice to get them to work without food.

 

Here's one of my dogs, who has been going to agility classes for about 18 months.

 

 

At classes he does everything perfectly except the weaves.

 

 

As you can see, he is only a small dog so can do the course too.

It looks a bit flimsey but i suppose its a bit of fun You could make your own or add to it with home made obstacles

 

I prefer this which provides some interest, is classy and encourages a bit more natural behaviour

They've just copied my original gym

 

[KatesKlucks]

Haha very nice. Of course the chicken gym fits my purpose as normal agility equipment is so expensive!

Like that!

I wish I had room for it!

Doesn't take up much room at all! though I suppose it depends on your garden
