How to build perches for baby chicks?

[ohnoicantfly]

Does your window not have any hardware cloth on it? If it does, you can leave it open at night too, to help the coop air out and cool down in summer nights. And if it doesn’t, then that’s a huge oversight and you need to predator proof it so you can leave it open.

It does not. If I were to attach some hardware cloth, would I just use some u nails? Or is there a better means of attaching it?

Best ways to attach would be screws + fender washers, or utilizing a trim or finishing board over the edges and screwing that in place.
