Chickens loves it and they treating it as a perch. Where do chicken love to sleep? On the perches! So they abandoned the house and started to sleep on this perches. It was Ok in the summer, we let them sleep outside. Now it is getting colder but they refuse to go to the Omlet house. At the momemt we take them one by one and place in the house for the night. Not sure how long it will continue
Thank you for your feedback about this product. It seems like your chickens are indeed loving their perches a little too much !
Normally, chickens will take themselves off to bed but if a few decided to stay on their perches, you may have to take them into the coop yourself like you are already doing, for a while until they understand that this is what they need to do. You could also temporarily try to bribe them with treats in the coop. Eventually, getting a coop light to nudge them to go inside in the evening could be helpful as well.
We hope that some of these ideas will help, and don't hesitate to contact us if you have any further questions.

Chickens don’t use it
Owen,
Solid, construction fine but as per other reviews. Chickens simply don’t use it. Still frightened if it moves after over a month

Hi Owen,
Thank you for your message. It can take indeed some extra training for some chickens to get them to eventually use their swing. You can find useful tips here

Hi Kathleen,
We are sorry to read that your chicken does not seem interested in our Caddi Treat Holder.
Chickens are creatures of habit, it might take them a while to pick up this new habit. You could for example try different treats, or place it on the ground for a while, or in a different location. Sometimes, it only takes the dominant chicken to show interest, before the others follow.
We hope that you find a solution, don't hesitate to get in touch with us as well for further advice.

Great idea, but the girls don't think so
Harriet,
A great idea, but unfortunately the chickens took zero notice after they got spooked by it once. I only ever saw one of the more daring birds actually using it out of choice-and that was a one-off. It's a very clever idea, and I recon they would love it if they were trained young in order to know what it's for. When we get a few more youngsters I will try training them. :-)
