CHICKEN SWING

[BackyardAnita]

I just got a chicken swing for my chickens. How do i get them to use it? Do they just need time to discover it?

Do you have a pic you could share? never heard of a chicken swing before!

I found this video on youtube of a chicken swinging on a chicken swing. It's a great way to entertain your chickens, making a jungle jim for them.

Can a chicken be taught to use a chicken swing if they haven't grown up with one?

Yes

that is so cool! Now I want to get one for my girls!

wow, I would think that the constant motion would make them dizzy and would not like it, apparently these chickens in the video seem to enjoy it. Amazing, I never would have conceived an idea like this as much as I think about ways to keep them entertained in the winter so they can have less squabbles.

I love it! I'm going to build one tomorrow! I have no doubts at all that some of my 20 chickens will get some use out of it.

I built it, and they came! Or rather, they got used to it, and then hopped on for a test drive! It was the youngest member of the flock, Mable, a five-month old Welsummer, who had the courage to try it first.
