How would you suggest putting in perches?

I love those handles! I'm think'n handicap bathrooms! haa!

My recommendation would be to add a roost, if possible, and maybe more of a defined place to lay eggs. Also, I'd FOR SURE add some sort of lock to that removable wall. You don't want any rocky raccoons coming in and hurting the chickies while they sleep.

Looks good - congrats - cc

very nice! i can tell you put serious thought into the design, bravo. i like the lower side exit and the easy-access upper door for cleaning. it does look heavy, but i feel these portable pens are a balancing act, more features equals more weight. again, well done.

You did a really great job! Keep up the good work and enjoy those chickens.
