Chickens enjoy being elevated and many will happily sit on a swing to sunbathe or preen at the times of day when they like to relax. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Omlet Chicken Swing includes the following features:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>A corn-like surface<\/strong> to help with grip as chickens perch.<\/li><li><strong>Rope buckles<\/strong> for easy installation to any frame or run mesh.<\/li><li><strong>Optional cross member <\/strong>to make attachment extra secure if you&rsquo;re attaching to a mesh roof on a run.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>This chicken swing is made from quality materials and is easy to install using ropes which can be looped around any type of frame, branch or heavy-duty wire mesh, depending on your run set up. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It also works really well with the run which attaches to the omlet cube. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The swing rope length can be adjusted so that it&rsquo;s the right hight for chickens to jump onto while still being elevated.

class=\"wp-block-heading\">Chicken coop perches<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Perches are an integral part of a chicken coop and they can also be used inside a chicken run to give chickens the option of resting in an elevated position while they&rsquo;re outdoors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Not all chicken coops come with built-in perches so you might need to install them separately.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>If you&rsquo;re looking to buy perches, we recommend Omlet Perches which are easy to fit and are available in either 1 or 2 meter lengths and can be fitted to either a wire mesh run or inside a coop of any type.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-1 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow
