You want your shavings to be dry and fairly large or they're dustier......they also won't break down very quick (at all) for compost.
Best to have your roost higher than your nests...or they will roost(sleep) and poop in nests
I'd just get rid of that upper nest bank 3 nests is enough for 9 birds...put some HC over it and use for ventilation.
Your chicken wire run(and thus your coop) is not predator proof...chicken wire is good for keeping chicken in but lot of nasty critters can get thru it.
What is you climate?
Putting your location in your profile can help folks give better answers/suggestions.
If i put my pole high, how will they get to it, ramp? Do they jump up?
So....do i lower my pole or raise it? Or have 2.
I live in delta, co high desert/countryside. In the summer its 70-105. Lately 85-100. In the winter, we get snow and it gets cold for sure, warmer than denver but still it can get down low.
