Hens keep flying into wall!!!

It might be a little too high for the amount of space. I'd lower it.

Ditto Dat....or just remove it as there's not much space from walls.

They use it a lot. It was made for my rooster so he could be our height as he kept trying to jump on ledges. They use it for treats and to keep eye height. Or they'll jump onto my back and use me as stairs.

My hens do that as well. Think of them as models who need runways to strut. DONT think of them as helicopters who just fly straight up.

They don’t have proper roosting bars. There is no room for them to fly land when they go up - there’s less than 10 inches from the wall to the roost. Install proper roosting bars across the center of the coop so everyone has room.

there's a long perch behind me that is not in the picture that they all sit on, in the sun.
