The perch should hang higher than the nest; otherwise chickens choose the nest to sleep in and soil it. Hang several perches at the same height, so there is less squabbling over the highest spot. Chicks and young birds practise on a low chick perch before they reach the adult flock's perch.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf young hens are still laying everywhere except in the nest, put a plastic dummy egg in it.
