If you’ve been following my chicken-loving journey, you know that my adoration for these feathered beauties knows no bounds. From morning clucks to evening roosts, my chickens bring immense joy to my life. Today, I want to share a delightful surprise I prepared for them—a brand-new perch for their coop! 🌟
The Quest for the Perfect Perch:
Let’s face it; finding the perfect perch can be a challenge. The outside sticks in the coop run just weren’t cutting it anymore. They kept falling, causing frustration, and I couldn’t bear to see my lovely hens uncomfortable. So, I decided to take the Amazon route, searching for a perch that would withstand the test of time.
The Perch of Choice:
If you’re curious about the exact perch I ordered, you can see it below for all the details. It only had one rating but I decided to try it anyway. I must say, it’s heavy-duty and sturdy, which is precisely what my girls deserve. However, I have to admit, the assembly directions left much to be desired. But, as any chicken enthusiast knows, our feathered friends are worth the extra effort. 🛠️ I was NOT paid to review this product—I simply wanted something for my girls and thought I would share.
The Patience Game:
Assembling the perch took some time and patience. While the directions may have been lacking, my determination to give my chickens the best won out. I knew that once they got used to this new addition to their run, they would love it.
The Joy of Spoiling:
The Proclaimers once sang, “I would walk 500 miles,” and I can’t help but feel a similar sentiment when it comes to my chickens. I’d go to great lengths to ensure their comfort and happiness. Hand-screwing that perch together was just one more example of the love and dedication I have for my feathered friends. 🐥❤️
Happy Chicken love, my friends!
