Hello.
I have recently rehomed 5 beautiful girls. They have started to settle and have even started to lay (not bad considering I moved them 2 days ago!)
Now my question is. The lady gave me their coop. Great, hoped it would help them settle, saved me money and time. The coop is home made, very good quality, opening lip so easy clean but no perches! It is quite low in height, so I don't think adding a perch is going to work.
The hens seem very happy with this arrangement but are laying and pooping in one place. Not great.
Am I best to bite the bullet and replace with a coop with beating boxes and perches or shall I leave my birds as they are, they do seem quite happy huddled up at night.
Look forward to your advice
