We used sturdy branches from an old pear tree we thinned out, they perched and used it for shade we got that idea from the hens themselves who liked to perch and shade in the apple trees. We also hung veg and fruit for them to peck, gave them their own compost heap and a straw bale which was also handy for a seat for me

My hubby built an outdoor perch for them, i found some small wooden gates which i put on bricks, they love climbing all over that, wot ive been doing recently is hanging corn on the cob from some string, usually just throw it in for them, now that keeps them busy for ages, very funny to watch. nickyx

This is probably not terribly exciting but my oldest son bought a Budgie Mirror with a Bell and a larger Parrot Mirror with a larger Bell attached. Both are hung from the roof of the Run. This can cause some fun when when the Hens accidentaly brush against them causing the bells to sound. Haven't noticed the Hens admiring their reflections as yet LOL
