Verified Reviews for The Omlet Chicken Perch

I thought our chickens would take time to warm up to it, but they use it everyday. They really do seem to enjoy it and use it.

We thought we put it too high in the run but they all hopped right up on it no problem the first day. It’s now their favorite hang out spot.

Our birds took to this perch immediately. It gives them an alternative perspective whilst they are restricted to the covered run.

Took a while for the girls to get used to the perch but once they discovered what it was for the are never off it . Great product

Received our chicken perch yesterday and put it in the girls shed this morning . Our girls seem to like it with Pip perching for a fair length of time. Waiting on the other girls to catch on

My girls love this sturdy perch.

Our 4 hens are loving their safe, warm coop with 9 ft run. We bought a heated automatic chicken waterer that is such a relief to not have to go out in the cold to break the water first thing in the a.m. After we first bought them, our chickens each got a raspy cough/sneeze. We used VetRx and antibiotic but 1 hen died, sadly. We got a replacement. She got hen pecked for almost 2 weeks, by the hen who got hen pecked by the other 3 originals. Then they all settled down. But the new hen ended up with a "pasty or yucky butt". So after a while, we figured this was a thing and looked it up. We cut the dried poo off and thouroughly cleansed the hen's vent area with warm soapy dawn dish water from a spray bottle, rinsed with warm water from another spray bottle, and blow dried her off before putting her back in the coop. She had stopped laying for about 2 weeks. We anticipate her laying again soon. This is a learning experience and I'm glad we have 4 healthy, happy hens now with almost 4 eggs a day. The Omlet is so secure and warm for them. We did have a cat lunging at the hens and so added a roll of chicken wire around the coop for a little extra distance for cat paws. I run them off with loud clapping when I can catch them lurking around. We found we did not need the light to notify the hens that the door would be shutting. They would go up the ladder when the normal light of day was getting dim. Then when they were in the coop the light would come on. They would get confused and sometimes go back down the ladder. We ended up disconnecting the light and setting the door to close at the latest programmable time. Now it seems to be working perfectly! Love the coop, heated auto-waterer (bought separately) and our 4 happy hens! Also, we do move it around every so often. It rained for a few days and we tossed in some hay so they would not have to walk around in the mud. There was grass before, but not anymore. Mud. So hay is good to keep on hand. It was like rolling out carpet. Their little feet got a break from the mush. They even sat on it to rest during the day. We also stuck a rod through the coop for them to roost on during the day. They do like to get up high. We keep a few folding chairs around the coop to set and watch them if the weather allows. They like some meal worm snacks too. We gave them a little plain yogurt topped with meal worms for the probiotics. This was an idea I found online for chickens with "pasty or yucky butt". Good for the tummy. They really liked it too.

Fits our cage and the chickens like it.

Charlotte hops up there all the time. It's a nice, solid perch and easy to install.

I received this a few weeks ago, I didn’t have much faith in the girls actually using it as they never seem interested in anything I buy them but they like to hop up to their perch, and there is plenty of room for the 3 of them.
