Troubleshooting
Perch is wobbly after assembly
Ensure all screws and connections are tightened securely according to the assembly instructions. Check that all poles are firmly seated in their connectors.
Chickens are hesitant to use the perch
This can be natural. Give your chickens time to adjust. Ensure the perch is placed in a safe and accessible area within the coop, away from direct drafts or high-traffic zones.
Wood poles show signs of wear
Lightly sand any rough edges. For protection, you can apply a pet-safe, non-toxic sealant if desired, but ensure it is fully cured before chickens use it again.
