Oh, we’re getting bantams. Forgot to mention that in case it makes a difference.

My husband and I are building a coop, and everything was perfect until he went rogue and cut a giant hole in the floor for the chickens to get into the coop. I told him the general placement, and because he put the ramp at too shallow of an angle, he wound up with a super long hole so the...
