I made two round windows in the coop, one from a big glass plate and one from a big glass lid. The windows are on either side of one of the roosts. The hens love the two window seats!!

The roosts are 2.5 inches wide, have rounded edges, and are covered with inner tubes from mountain bike tires. I got the inner tubes for free from a bike shop, when I asked them for punctured inner tubes destined for the trash. I read that this width and shape of roost is best for chicken feet. They spend so much time on them, that I decided they should be right.

porthole window. The second roost went right under it.

Inside of the coop. The plastic lid under the roosts catches most of the droppings. Grass clippings from mowing works for floor covering. For one thing, it's free.
