    Chicken seems to have no energy

    Rooster won't jump in coop.

    We tried that he wouldn't go for it. My boyfriend is going to try to build something similar so we won't have to buy another but I'm just happy I don't have to go rooster wrangling for now at least

    Rooster won't jump in coop.
