The Omlet Chicken Perch is a simple and quick way to enhance your chickens outdoor run with a fun and weather resistant accessory.
Your birds love to perch and not just in their house at night. During the day you've probably noticed that they will happily hop onto a wheelbarrow handle, the back of a chair or even on the edge of flower pot. It’s an instinct that comes from the very earliest chickens that lived in forests and today's domestic hens still have a natural desire to perch from the highest available point.
Whether you have an Eglu Chicken Coop, Walk in Run or a DIY chicken coop… the Omlet Chicken Perch will fit them all. This innovative perch for chickens has a special connector which clamps around any chicken wire or chicken mesh leaving a secure and very neat looking finish. It’s one of the easiest and cheapest ways you can add a perch to your chicken run that your hens will use every day.
The single perch fits directly across the Eglu Cube, Eglu Go UP, Eglu Go and the Eglu Classic. The double perch fits across an Eglu Cube MK1 (pre September 2016) and a 2x2 Walk in Run.
It can be used as an outdoor chicken perch or indoor perch for chickens.
If you require a longer perch then you can simply attach two bars together using the strong, rust free aluminium perch connector supplied with the 2 meter / 6ft chicken perch. We don’t recommend extending beyond 2m unless you provide your own additional support to the perch. You can shorten the perch by sawing it to the correct length. The perch connector and end caps neatly cover any cut surfaces.
You can install the Chicken Perch inside any wooden chicken coop so that your hens may use it for roosting at night. Simply screw the perch into the wooden walls of your coop using the attachments provided and your chickens will have a brand new sturdy roosting bar to enjoy. Self tapping wood screws are supplied with the Chicken Perch for ease of assembly, so wherever you decide to position yours you can be sure it will be quick and simple to attach.
The perch can be attached across the corner of your run
Works Across Corners
The hinges allow the Chicken Perch to be connected either from one side of a run to the other or at an angle across the corner of a run, giving you the flexibility you need to make the most of the space within your chicken setup.
Your chickens will love having a perch in their run and you can even add several at different heights to give your flock a choice of perches. Whilst it might not seem like an obvious activity, a static perch is actually one of the best additions you can make to your chickens run. And if you have a big flock of chickens, you can add several perches in different locations. Easy to fit and your hens will love it, order your Omlet Chicken Perch today!
The perch is made from eucalyptus, a naturally hard material
Specifications
Made from naturally weather resistant eucalyptus, the perch is a comfortable size for bantams as well as large breeds of chickens to grip. 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.
It comes untreated, you can use it straight out the box or you can use a pet safe varnish, paint or wood stain.
Chicken Perch - Single
Length (assembled): Approx. 1 meter
Diameter: 33mm
Yes, as eucalyptus is a very hard and strong wood you might find some splitting along the length of the pole. This is part of the wood’s characteristics, and won’t weaken your perch.
Should I treat my perch?
The perch comes untreated, but due to the high quality material it can be used straight out of the box. If you want to treat it, please make sure you use a varnish or paint that is safe for animals.
I want to attach my perch to my Eglu run, which size should I get?
The 1m perch fits perfectly on the Eglu Cube Mk2, Eglu Go UP and Eglu Go runs. If you have an Eglu Cube Mk1 run, you will need to get the 2m perch and either cut it to the correct length or position it at an angle.
Can I put the perch inside the Eglu?
There is no solution for fitting your perch inside an Eglu. The roosting bars inside the coop will provide your flock with the perching opportunities they need while sleeping.
How many chickens fit on a perch?
That depends slightly on how big the chickens are, but the 1m perch will comfortably fit 4 medium sized hens.
Can I make the perch longer or shorter?
If the two lengths provided don’t fit your run you can shorten the perch by sawing it at the correct length. Or if you require a longer perch you can attach two bars together using the strong, rust free aluminium perch connector supplied with the longer perch. We do however not recommend extending beyond 2m unless you provide additional support in the middle of the perch.
We have the whole Omlet setup for our chickens, and since there was a sale, we decided to try out the perches. I bought one of each length, and I must say that once they found them, the ladies really loved these! The spend lots of time up there each day, preening, snoozing or just watching the world go by. I would 100% recommend these to any chicken owner to enrich their bords' lives.

super easy to install
Sarah,
My only complaint is that it does sag in the middle. Easy enough to prop it up.

Love it and so do my chickyboos
Natasha,
SA,
Easy ish to put together. I struggle a bit with wood screws by hand, because I am weak, but apart from that it was no trouble. A few hours in and it was covered in chickens. I love watching them perch. Great quality product as I have come to expect from Omlet.
