Not very creative, I put a small step ladder & a saw horse in their run. Seems to be used allot.

I was thinking about something like that the other day, winter is coming and wanted them to have something in the run to perch on. I also have a lot of old tires laying about, cause we use them int he potato patch during planting season. I might do the tripod thing that was suggested :-D thanks for posting this pic.​

Here is what we built for my chickies:

I had some smaller items that we built for them to climb/sit on. They are under the bigger structure here. The girls really make use of it, especially the younger ones. It gets them out of the way of the older, crankier girls and the rooster when he is feeling too amorous.

The smaller hen house in the back has been remeoved and they now have that for open space in their run now. Especially with the vertical space, everyone has room to get out of each other's way.

I added some more "space utilization" yesterday to what I already have.
I'll have to get pictures of it and post them up here soon {see: 1st Southern Coop thread}.
I'll see what I can do...
