Perch Potato: Seven Weeks of Fowl Play With My Feathered Friend
I've been called a perch potato before, but never like this. Marans Froment's new book, *Perch Potato: Seven Weeks of Fowl Play With My Feathered Friend*, takes the term to egg-streme levels. It's a seven-week journey into the absurd, hilarious, and slightly terrifying world of chicken-keeping, told from the perspective of a perch. Yes, a perch. Because why not? If you've ever had a chicken stare at you like you're the intruder in their coop, you'll relate. Froment captures that love-hate relationship perfectly, mixing genuine chicken expertise with a playful fear that'll make you laugh and squirm.

Stuck on the ground? Show us your coop setups and cluck-tastic enrichment
Stuck on the ground with your flock? You're not alone. One brave chicken tender shared their coop setup struggle, and honestly, it's a cluck-tastic dilemma we can all relate to. With seven adults and six pullets waiting in the wings, they're doubling their metal enclosure and adding a "basement" for dust-bathing hideouts. That little red hut with a raised floor? Total VIP lounge for rainy days. It's proof you don't need free-range acres to spoil your feathered friends. We love seeing how everyone gets creative with perches, roosts, and enrichment, especially when space is tight.
