That fluff ball is so CUTE!!! :love

Oh, okay. You didn't quote it so it wasn't clear who you were addressing.

Handsome boy! I love the wild look.

Um... I don't really care much about that... but okay.

Sure.

Glad to hear it, thanks.

I decided to build a 3D computer model before I start, so I can visualize it better (and also because it’s fun!) Here’s what I came up with. The vertical logs are about 4 and a half feet tall. Attaching the horizontal branches to the ramp makes for a nice spiral effect, so they won’t poop on...

We had chickens when I was growing up. They all had names and we loved them, but they were farm chickens. One of them got sick when he was a couple months old and my sister and I took him out to care for him. We nursed him back to health but he bonded so strongly to us that he wanted nothing to...

:gig I wouldn't want to walk either if somebody was willing to carry me to bed! Your chickens are living the good life :lol:

Alright, so the condensed wisdom is to give different height options with an easy way to get up and down, so all levels of climbiness can enjoy the structure. Thanks everybody!

:love I love that video! My pet chicken used to do that when I was a kid. I miss him. I'm so looking forward to having chickens again!

Beach ball :lau Now I want to see it! Do you have a picture? :D

Hmmm... interesting... I just looked up the breeder's website and he says most of his are English in origin. Maybe they'll enjoy it while they're young and not too big and heavy yet, and if they fall in love with it growing up climbing it, they'll continue to at least try to get their big butts...

@Ridgerunner mine will be coming from a hobby breeder, so not show quality. They will be pets, so no reason to feed them any special high protein diet. So maybe they’ll be fine? I’ll give them different height options with a ramp branch so they can go as high as they want and have a way to get...

Interesting! I’ve read a lot on BYC about how heavy and clumsy orps are, and don’t like flying or getting up high... so I thought they may need a lower jungle gym... but maybe not? Would be good to hear about different people’s experiences. I don’t want to spend time building something they...

I’m building a coop and run for a few Orpingtons. I got a bunch of logs, stumps and branches and want to build some kind of structure for the run, for them to climb on and perch on. But I was wondering what that particular breed might prefer... I know they have big fluffy butts and don’t fly...
