    Ramp

    Hello all! So we decided to redo our coop ramp. I felt like the issue with the old one was the reason we had a bumble foot. So we made a new one, painted it with exterior paint. But now it seems too slick and my Cochin Roo will not go up or down. I literally had to carry him down this morning...

    Ugh bumblefoot
