Cheep Chick Perches

[CreveChris]

i use litter in the brooder box and change it out once a week, more if you cant keep it dry .. some of them will start sitting on a perch if provided at around 3-4 weeks i'd say .. if you got a saw rip some 1X board down to square strips and you can make a few ..

We're building a big coop and will use

Building a bigger coop right now, and will add some 1x1 perches, thanks

Thin is ok for chicks but bigger birds require bigger roosts. I use 2x4's. Many use tree branches.

I have a handmade tree limb ladder for the hens and rooster. There's a table made of reclaimed wood with the nesting boxes, too. Just want the flock off the ground at night. Using natural sand floor over hardware cloth for the coop and run, since Florida makes this option easy.
