Lewis Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 Hey guys, I’m in the process of building our new walk in run and need perch ideas. Previously I used homemade with IKEA brackets which have worked really well for 10+ years and half my flock sleep outside in the run on them. The Omlet perches are quite pricey and round so not ideal for their feet, especially in super cold weather. So, I’d love to see photos of your WIR perches please!

HarrisonFamily Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 I just went into the woods at the end of my garden and used 2 branches - my hens all sleep out on these Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cat tails Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 Keep forgetting to take some pictures, but mine are VERY DIY. I used some ends of wood from a wooden square meter thingy. And some bits of a shrub I trimmed. Made some slits in the wood to slide the bits of run in. And fortified with some cable ties. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mullethunter Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 I keep forgetting too. Mine are all far less pretty than those. I have bits of batten and other bits of timer that are batten sized and a bit bigger. I’ve sanded them starting with really co**se sandpaper so totally taking off the corners and then finer to get rid of any splinters. They also have an old bench and a big tyre. They use all the perches but I think the tyre (which has a big trug tub dust bath in) is their favourite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
