Update: we made the ramp wider, added more cleats and adjusted the angle by puting a block at the bottom. I placed both hens up by the boxes. They both investigated and then laid there 😁 Thanks for all the advice!

Do you have a picture of your steps?

The nest boxes are at a convenient height for me but if they won't use them, then I'm not against moving them. I will retrieve the eggs tomorrow. I am hoping that one night of the eggs being in the boxes will motivate them lol.

Should we consider lowering the nest boxes? The pop door is under the nest boxes but we could move the roosts to that side.

The top rung of the roost is level with the nesting box platform but they have yet to go up there.

We put the 2 eggs they laid on the floor in the nesting boxes.

They are RIRs and eventually the 2 red comets will go in there too. We tried to lure them up there with seeds but they wouldn't go up.

The ladder is the roost. The nesting boxes are 32 inches up. Last night was there first night in there and one of them used the second to lowest rung of the roost. Which is about 4 inches off the ground.

We just finished the majority of our coop. Both hens have laid eggs on the floor and can't seem to get up the ramp. How steep is too steep? I need some dimension ideas. My husband tried to recycle a bifold closest door but they can't get up that at all.
