Verified Reviews for Chicken Toys & Perches

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.

Easy to assemble, even with the ladies roosting right next to me.

Fits our cage and the chickens like it.

First pendant I've purchased, second time purchasing the Poppy Peck toy (for a fellow crazy chicken lady). Great quality and keeps the girls engaged!

My 4 hens LOVE this boredom buster! Love the design and it keeps these girls busy!

My girls love this toy. They do love the combination of treat, eat and play, this is the perfect Flockdown solution to keeping happy laying chickens. One of them, the bottom of the pecking order of three, who is not allowed to play with the new toy, (she is pecked away and only has a chance when there are a few grains of goodies left at the bottom) that if she pings it, rather than just pushes it, she can get more out. It’s bringing out her chicken genius.

It is a great toy for getting chickens to earn their treats and keep them busy whilst in the run. I would definitely recommend it while there is bird flu around, so they can keep active. It keeps the food off the floor and doesn't attract rats or mice. The wind turbine is useful for the chickens and also us for example if you have somebody who plays golf they can use it to know where the wind is going. We would give it 5 stars.

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

out of my 9 chickens, none will go on it. I've placed several on it and they jumped off. I have treats at the top, but they are not interested. Perhaps my chickens are spoiled. This was easy to assemble, much easier, not less expensive than creating my own, and it looks great. It stood up to the SC hurricane Ian, no problem. I'm going to have to put some corn on the cobs on it and see what happens.
