The little chicklets have been spending a lot of time perching on top of their feeder and waterer lately, so we decided to build them a little perch. We hope this will help them learn to roost, so when it comes time for them to move outside into their big chicken house, they'll have had some experience sleeping up off the ground at night.
The ducklins were quick to inspect the perch while the chicks cowered terrified in the corner.
Mommy Steve was in charge of teaching each chick how to clasp onto the perches. Some were more apt than others, but at least they all tried.
One of the little Amerucana chicks especially liked the perch, and took to hanging out there for quite a while.
