Verified Reviews for Chicken Toys & Perches
Great for the chickens, slight concern in quality
My chickens absolutely love this perch! I also like it - especially design of the attachments, as they can swivel and therefore be configured in many different ways in the run.
Unfortunately, the 2 wooden pieces of my 6ft perch both came with some cracks in them, and after a week of having the perch out I can already see that the integrity of the perch is weakening. Given the price, this quality issue is a big disappointment, especially considering that I love the product itself.
Overall, I am happy with the product, but disappointed that I'll probably end up having to purchase another soon due to the cracks.

Omlet response:
Hi Marissa, thank you for leaving us a review. The perches are made from naturally weather resistant eucalyptus. Eucalyptus is a very hard and strong wood, as it's a natural material you will find some splitting along the length of the pole, this is not a defect and is part of the wood's characteristics.
I would like to assure you, the perch should not weaken over time regardless of these cracks. Please feel free to keep an eye on this and contact us if you have any further concerns.
Not very stable at full 2m stretch
I bought this for my chickens a little while ago. it is a fantastic idea and my birds love it however over the months of having 6 perching chickens on it every night the join has become weak and the pole ends have split causing the pole join to break and come crashing down with the birds on it.
unfortunately one of my beloved hens sustained a nasty leg injury and is now unable to walk and scratch about as is second nature for the hens, she looks quite sad and unhappy, as am I. the pole is a brilliant idea but if you have the full 2m joined pole please do be mindful that a collapse is possible.

Hi Jane, I'm so sorry to hear about this. This is extremely uncommon! Please feel free to take some photo's and send them into our customer service team, it's something we would definitely like to look into.
Perfect, they love it!
Just purchased my second one of these as my hens love it. Took them a while before they used it but once they did they are on it regularly. Works great in my Omlet run. Good value for money when you consider it is so adaptable to different setups, Omlet or not...

Great boredom buster
I bought this last month in the hopes that it would keep winter run bound chickens entertained rather than pecking one another. Overall, they have been good purchases. I have used the stake in ground version most, simply because it's easier in the middle of winter to put anywhere in the run without having to deal with clearing snow to set up a hook, etc. They enjoyed it almost immediately, and does help to keep them entertained. I use scratch in it -- and it also keeps them from overeating "junk" food.

Great for entertaining greedy chickens ☺️ Mine have taken to them and live jumping up to peck the treats. Simple but great idea, I’ll buy the ones that stake in the ground too!

Lots of hentertainment with the Poppy peck toys
Bought these a month ago to add to the 3 that I already have and they have been a godsend due to the Avian Flu lockdown in UK. I have 8 hen of which 3 are ex battery and these girls like to peck at everything! These peck toys are certainly relieving the boredom as you can put their favourite seeds in them. The girls absolutely love them.
