I splurged on a sand box. Very popular with the gals. A mix of play sand, peat, DE, and, if I have any, some wood/charcoal ash. I keep the bath near the pen area and they get to use it whenever roaming the yard.

The girls complained of a boring interior so I spruced up the nest boxes with some colorful exercise floor mats which help cushion the eggs. I've been using pine shavings in the boxes but they always get scattered into the coop so am trying hay over these cushions, hoping for less scattering.

Added a couple of hanging treat holders (one round on the left, the other a rectangular cage on the right). The girls took to the round one holding a tomato right away. The other has cabbage in it and isn't as popular.

After installing the vinyl, added a drop board across the door opening to help retain shavings.

My coop build from Purina plans

The Purina coop with some modifications. I'm not the greatest carpenter and I made some mistakes along the way, but it was a fun build. I drew up some plans in AutoCad before I got started and have since cleaned them up some. I also have a drawing of the run/pen area and I have a spreadsheet of the parts that I used. If anyone wants them, send me a message so I can get them to you. The files are available in PDF and/or AutoCad. I am not able to upload them here. I would also be more than happy to answer any questions.
