I've been really disappointed. My husband won't take the time to dislodge the broody birds until this weekend. I can't do it myself because I can't bend into where they are with my broken ankle. At least he's going out to get the lumber for the new coop and should be able to put a lot of it...

Our coop is days away from being demolished and replaced, so I need to focus more on the dimensions of good replacement roosts/nests and the sizes they need and space they need. Right now we have an "upstairs" that they don't use, probably because the ramp is a pain in the neck and the upstairs...
