    Looking for suggestions

    I built an A frame coop with the intention of moving it around the yard. The coop is 5.5’ wide by 10’ long with a 16 foot run. We have 5 hens that are each producing well. I am interested on thoughts regarding building a new stationary coop. Will the girls adapt to a new coop or will it...

    Update: Monday and Tuesday I placed our birds in the coop and roost bars. The girls have put themselves in the coop without assistance. Thanks to all who provided advice.

    since the original plan was to move the birds around the yard, I considered the entire A frame structure as the coop. The enclosed area is large enough for the birds. The roosts have plenty of room.

    Small new flock help

    We have a new flock of 5, 18 week old hens. The roosting box has never been used so there aren’t any droppings. Our issue is the birds will not go into the roosting box at night. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

    Our back yard has a 6 foot fence. What will stop the chickens from flying over the fence if their wings aren’t clipped?
