This is my second set of Backyard Barnyard chick perches. I use them as sanitary perches in the brooder. Easy-to-clean, rounded & sanded wood, made in the USA.
My chicks can't poop on each other while sitting on these. The triangle/triple perch setup isn't as stable, either, as chicks grow.
My only question is, how old were your chicks when they started perching, especially to sleep? My original flock, the parents of the current brooder chicks, never perch to sleep. I got them a handmade natural branch ladder, so we'll see how that goes, but so far they prefer flat surfaces and cuddling like brooder chicks.
I'm encouraging and training(?) these chicks to start balancing on the low perches. They are only a week old, so I don't expect much.
