Verified Reviews for Omlet Chicken Perch - 1 meter

Our 4 hens are loving their safe, warm coop with 9 ft run. We bought a heated automatic chicken waterer that is such a relief to not have to go out in the cold to break the water first thing in the a.m. After we first bought them, our chickens each got a raspy cough/sneeze. We used VetRx and antibiotic but 1 hen died, sadly. We got a replacement. She got hen pecked for almost 2 weeks, by the hen who got hen pecked by the other 3 originals. Then they all settled down. But the new hen ended up with a "pasty or yucky butt". So after a while, we figured this was a thing and looked it up. We cut the dried poo off and thouroughly cleansed the hen's vent area with warm soapy dawn dish water from a spray bottle, rinsed with warm water from another spray bottle, and blow dried her off before putting her back in the coop. She had stopped laying for about 2 weeks. We anticipate her laying again soon. This is a learning experience and I'm glad we have 4 healthy, happy hens now with almost 4 eggs a day. The Omlet is so secure and warm for them. We did have a cat lunging at the hens and so added a roll of chicken wire around the coop for a little extra distance for cat paws. I run them off with loud clapping when I can catch them lurking around. We found we did not need the light to notify the hens that the door would be shutting. They would go up the ladder when the normal light of day was getting dim. Then when they were in the coop the light would come on. They would get confused and sometimes go back down the ladder. We ended up disconnecting the light and setting the door to close at the latest programmable time. Now it seems to be working perfectly! Love the coop, heated auto-waterer (bought separately) and our 4 happy hens! Also, we do move it around every so often. It rained for a few days and we tossed in some hay so they would not have to walk around in the mud. There was grass before, but not anymore. Mud. So hay is good to keep on hand. It was like rolling out carpet. Their little feet got a break from the mush. They even sat on it to rest during the day. We also stuck a rod through the coop for them to roost on during the day. They do like to get up high. We keep a few folding chairs around the coop to set and watch them if the weather allows. They like some meal worm snacks too. We gave them a little plain yogurt topped with meal worms for the probiotics. This was an idea I found online for chickens with "pasty or yucky butt". Good for the tummy. They really liked it too.

Charlotte hops up there all the time. It's a nice, solid perch and easy to install.

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.

This is the second one I purchased, great product , sturdy, easy to install

So the materials are great the attachment pieces look to be well made and a secure design. I wish the wood was treated with something its going outside and it seems to be just pine so it would be nice if it came with some treatment like maybe tung oil or something to make it a bit more water resistant. not a big deal but i was surprised i had to cut it down to make it fit in my eglu up. it maybe said that somewhere but it is just one more step and the reason it is still in the box and not place in the run yet maybe this weekend.

Works great with the omlet chicken run. My chicken love to perch in it, it’s the perfect size and easy to install

Excellent item (I have two), easy to install and hens love it!

Great product. Easy to install and very sturdy.

Easy enough to install, very sturd, and the girls love it!

Wasn't sure whether to purchase this but glad I did, the chickens (3 of them) even get up on it at the same time.
