Any ideas on how to put this swing set to use?

But first, we need to see them on the slide…

That’s what my youngest wanted to do (he’s 8) when we first got chickens. I’ve said a lot of things I never thought I would. “Don’t push that chicken down the slide! Get that chicken off your head! (Kids coming inside) How many chickens are in your coat? No you can’t paint their toenails!” Lol never a dull moment.

You could tweak it a bit to make it a 'chicken play ground'... I'm sure someone's done it with a Google search.
Or tear it apart and use what you can on some other project.

I agree more with @aart here if you don't need it.

@wrathsfarm this isn’t a oh maybe another child can use this swing. This is a “hmm let’s see if it doesn’t fall apart while my son swings on it” set. This is a “I should’ve bought a new last year but my kids wanted a new game console instead, and I’m not made of money” swing set.

I like this! Do you have to train the knuckleheads to use them?

Nope! They pretty much started exploring it immediately!

I did put their waterer in there specifically so they would see something familiar and know it was a spot for them. When they're out, they use it periodically to get out of the sun and wind, or if there's a hawk hanging around (they have other hiding spots too so they don't always use this shelter).

And it was really fun and easy to build!
