The seem cozy. I have seen them facing and sitting all different direction in there.
I have some extra materials, maybe I'll try again. I will try to get a pic when one goes in...
6 Australorps, all laying
Coop size is ~30sq.ft. With two 12x12x12 nesting boxes with clean pine shavings
Coop also has pine shavings and is pretty clean about 6-8 inches deep
Covered run is 40sq.ft. And they roam 1/3 acre about 5 hours per day.
Laying is fine, but 4 of them REFUSE to lay in...
