JUST WANTED TO KNOW IF A BROOM HANDLE COULD BE USED FOR PERCHES?

No... afraid not it's far too thin :!:

The width is 4-5 cm and slightly rounded at the sides for ease of grasping.

I use quite thick branches from trees. They are strong and look the part because they are natural

A broom handle would be handy for bantams but probably not for larger chickens.
Having said that, my birds are quite happy to roost on the thinest of branches when they take to the trees.

:roll: Chickens :roll:

It's only a problem for them I think when the have to sit on thin sticks all the time - gives them foot problems
