When I mentioned to Rich that a friend told me she had seen chickens happily swinging at a botanical park, he went right outside and made one for our sweet hens.
So far they aren’t impressed, interested, or even intrigued by the idea. I heard you need to give them time. My thoughts are that when they are in their enclosed area or the coop, it would get more attention because they would have less entertainment in those spaces.
This is set up in the open fence where they are constantly busy, scratching and looking for tasty treats, so they are just way, way too busy to kick back and relax on the swing.
We will see how it goes. We like it set up where we can watch them, but this might not be the spot it needs to be in. I’ll update you as spring progresses and we are outside more to observe.
Gosh, is spring really ever coming? This has been such a dreary month of March. I could use a little chicken fun to brighten my day. Get swinging, little ladies!
