    Hello! The coop still needs to be finished and the ramp that is there is only temporary. I plan on building one with 1"x1" wooden steps for them.

    Thanks for the comments! I have to take more pictures that show the perch and laying boxes better. Also, I plan on putting wire mesh over the window so that it can be operable. The Hens need to stay inside unless I am there. Our area has lots of predators like fox, bobcat, mountain lion, etc...
