would a chicken like to sit on this?

Probably not unless it is a very very small chicken (in reference to the small size). It is about 6 eggs long, and 1 1/4 eggs wide (measuring with the long side of the egg)

My rats could hardly fit on it, so I don't know if a chicken could keep balance on it! It's not stiff, it's flexible so I would imagine a chicken would need like 4 or more of these, but then you'd have to attach them all together somehow. (To make wider not longer).

I feel this is way too small for a chicken. It's big enough for my conures but past that? No

I'm not that knowledgable about chicken preferences (I have a parrot), but I asked my friend who has many and she said, "it would be a fun perch but chickens need a perch that is flat and not round. They get bumble foot on round perches, and when it is cool or cold they lower their breast to keep their feet warm."Edit: I agree with saka - the small size (what I got) would be way too small. Maybe the large size would be better?

Yes I think it would. The rim around is wide enough to hold pellets. I hang mine high enough so that the chickens don't scratch waste in it. It's sturdy and holds a lot of feed.

No it needs uniform pieces like kibble.I think chicken would be to soft and clog it.

I would say no. I think an African Grey is about as big as a bird should be in this cage.

I don't really see how that could be done. It's shaped like a cone so you could sit the bird's cavity over it, so there wouldn't really be any way to prop a roast of beef or pork over it. I think it's only use is for chickens and turkeys.

Definitely! My former 25 lb. kitty (he's lost weight since then) loves to sit and lie on it. It's big.

I don't know. I have the same question. I sure hope so because my chickens love it.

No. It's WAY too small for an adult hen- even one. We have used it only for an injured hen that couldn't stand to let her out for a bit, and we use it for our chicks.

Definately. My two regular sized chickens fit comfortably. Your cat will love the space.

Yes, I believe it would work for chickens. A few weeks back, I saw a cage at Costco that looked a lot like this one, but was designed for chickens.

Yes! I bought this for my African Grey last year and she seems to really enjoy it. When she's out she likes to go and play on the top of the cage. The bowls that came with it were a bit small so I did order larger bowls and i use the bowls that came with it for her fruits, etc.

Yes, you certainly can fit a chicken in the pan, on the rack and with the lid on. Most chickens sold in supermarkets fit well. If you get an unusually large bird, you could have a space problem with the rack and lid in place.

no, the edge is very thin....unfortunately, because my chickens try and roosts on the edge and flip it over. LOL Even the smallest bird would have no problem sitting on the edge of this bowl.

it would be a tight fit, depends on how big the chicken parts are. A smaller bird, yes. I wanted a rack that was as large as a standard cookie sheet, and this one is about 2 inches short and a tad bit too narrow. I don't know if anyone even makes a rack that size.

I do not think so. If chick's yes but not 2 full grown chickens. We have 1 rabbit in ours and he is quite content

It would depend on how much time the bird will be in the cage.. If its just a night cage then I would say yes but if its an all the time cage I would say no.

I have not tried, but I wouldn't be surprised if you use your standard caged chicken with soft bones (-:
