Disappointed - Deborah, east yorkshire,
I set the two swings, one in each of my Omlet runs, just above ground level and not one of my chickens has tried it. After doing some research I found a US you tube video which describes how you have to train the birds to use their swing. First set it low level, stand in front of swing with some corn to entice them on so they get used to the way they have to grip the rail. Then gradually raise the swing. I’m disappointed that none of this procedure is described on your website. I feel the product is mis-sold and I have wasted my money. 2

Not used yet but still hopeful - Annette, east yorkshire,
As we only have a small run and only 3 chickens I don't think anyone can be bothered to use it yet, the just prefer the static perch, but I will keep trying 2

Great quality - Sarah, east yorkshire,
Bought this for my new chicks to give them something to do when in the coop run. They are only 8 weeks old so haven’t used it yet but they are very good at getting up high and I’m sure the swing will be a hit once they figure it out. 2

Looks really good in my walk in run. - Elizabeth, east yorkshire,
I put up the swing in my walk in run. I have only had my lovely ladies just over a week now so they are still getting used to their new home. They have pecked at the swing but none of them have ventured on it yet. However we have had a lot of windy weather so this might have put them off a bit. I’m sure they will use it eventually. 2

Chickens don’t use it - Owen, east yorkshire,
Solid, construction fine but as per other reviews. Chickens simply don’t use it. Still frightened if it moves after over a month 2

THIS IS ADORABLE. - Irene, east yorkshire,
I had some ladder styler swings for my chickens, and they didn't like the swing. We had a small solid swing in our old coop, but it was too small for our Omlet pen, so I bought the Omlet Swing. It is absolutely adorable, in bright yellow solid plastic with ropes and a spacer to keep swing in place. We put perches in, so the chickens seem to prefer that for now. When they are ready, they have a lovely swing to swing on.

Good quality. - New, east yorkshire,
Awsome swing. My chickens were afraid of it but if you’re looking for a good swing this is it.
A unique and quality product - Catherine, east yorkshire,
Bought for a friend who has chickens.The chickens have not yet had use of the swing due to avarian flu precautions but with the better weather and release from their indoor environment, they will enjoy the swing. It is a well made, durable and fun product that will keep the chickens amused and entertained!!
