Still waiting for hens to try it!

A fun idea but hens don't quite seem to have got the idea!

Cute
Andrea,
It's a well made product but my girls don't like it for some reason, they won't go near it at all.

Hi Andrea, thanks for taking the time to leave us a review.
What a shame! Perhaps they just need to get used to it and build up some confidence. I'm sure they'll love it once they give it a go.
hold off until the hens feel secure in their surroundings
Sarah,
We're going to try this again when we have a larger enclosure for the hens, and when they are used to their territory. The swing panicked them when we tried installing it at the same time we put them into the brand new coop and the new 9' run. A rookie mistake.

The product is good, but the ladies hate it
Alice,
Essentially a good product, just the ladies hate it so a complete waste of money I shall make it my mission to get them to love it
Review for:The Chicken Swing
Easy to put up
Sheena,
The swing comes complete and ready to hang and it looks nice, unfortunately my ladies peck at it but not interested in getting on it, they prefer the 2m pole to play with (great fun watching them go nose to tail Limbo dancing).

Chickens hate
Alison,
Made well, good idea but my chickens hate it. Wish I'd never purchased
Review for:The Chicken Swing
Not for silkies.
Noel,
Pennsylvania,
Seemed sturdy enough but my silkies wanted NOTHING to do with. It was rather expensive I thought and after trying it and out (for when the free range) of the run I finally tossed it.
Review for:The Chicken Swing
Omlet response:
We guess that the silkies did not accept it because of their lack of flying capabilities. However: if you train young silkies to use it they will often accept it.
