I also have a question while i have a few people on this thread that seem to know what they are talking about.
What if i took part of the floor out and built an area/box underneath the coop? And just use a ramp for them to get up to area just to nest and have the living space below.i would remove the roosting bars and just have that area clear with hole in floor for birds to walk up through. The area underneath would be enclosed and safe.just think of it like a two story house. Walk around , eat and such downstairs and then go upstairs just to nest. And of course i would be building fencing around coop. To keep them safe.
I understand this still will not allow me to have many chickens due to limit nest space. But if i could have maybe 4. I could learn how to raise and cares for chickens with a smaller number of them and once i understand everything that goes into raising these animals i could move on to bigger and better coops and projects.
Hope that makes sense. Cant get internet at my location so have to use smart phone. Trying to explain stuff on internet is hard enough. Using a cell phone to explain a thought is next to impossible lol.
