I have always used branches because they looked natural and pretty. Interesting to see what happens. It would be cool to see if others who had chickens acclimated to different types of perches had different preferences.
This is a really beautiful and inspiring coop! I am completely speechless. I love the colors and woodsy feel of the coop and run. It's a great location!
I especially love the little stream!
Also, your chickens are so cute!
