out of my 9 chickens, none will go on it. I've placed several on it and they jumped off. I have treats at the top, but they are not interested. Perhaps my chickens are spoiled. This was easy to assemble, much easier, not less expensive than creating my own, and it looks great. It stood up to the SC hurricane Ian, no problem. I'm going to have to put some corn on the cobs on it and see what happens.

Good and bad
Irina,
Chickens loves it and they treating it as a perch. Where do chicken love to sleep? On the perches! So they abandoned the house and started to sleep on this perches. It was Ok in the summer, we let them sleep outside. Now it is getting colder but they refuse to go to the Omlet house. At the momemt we take them one by one and place in the house for the night. Not sure how long it will continue
Thank you for your feedback about this product. It seems like your chickens are indeed loving their perches a little too much !
Normally, chickens will take themselves off to bed but if a few decided to stay on their perches, you may have to take them into the coop yourself like you are already doing, for a while until they understand that this is what they need to do. You could also temporarily try to bribe them with treats in the coop. Eventually, getting a coop light to nudge them to go inside in the evening could be helpful as well.
We hope that some of these ideas will help, and don't hesitate to contact us if you have any further questions.

Works like a charm!

This has been the perfect solution to two problems and I love it! She never blinked getting back to her routine with this on, hiding. It helps me find her 1st off and 2nd it has really helped with the rooster spurring her too much when mating, hence the reason for her hiding. Now she’s more out in the open. I do think a version with wing covers that snap in place should be looked into and since you don’t carry yet the only reason for a 4 instead of 5.

Fun idea
Caroline,
Fun idea but I don't think any of our three chickens has used it yet. I would love to hear of chickens which do use it.....

Absolutely great
Mandi,
My chickens love this and happily peck away at it. They run after me when they see me with it. There are cheaper toys in the market but this is robust and they love it.

Great entertaining toy for your chickens!
Annie,
QLD,
When I placed it in my chook yard, they were a little bit scared of it at first, but my curious Rhode Island Red hen took to this straight away within the first few minutes, and the other 7 chickens followed her lead. Great for keeping my hen mentioned before entertained the most, she has only just started laying. All Omlet products are trustworthy and easy to put together.
I would definitely recommend this product!

Hanging meal worm decanter
Webster,
Our girls really love it. It keeps them busy and the worms last longer as they get them 1 x1 from the hanging decanter then spreading them on the ground.

Girls seem to like it
Loren,
I received this a few weeks ago, I didn’t have much faith in the girls actually using it as they never seem interested in anything I buy them but they like to hop up to their perch, and there is plenty of room for the 3 of them.
