Best use of space? 5x6.6 coop

[rosemarythyme]

2 rir hens and once integrated, 2 golen buffs.
So far, no sleeping in the nest boxes and after I put them up on the roost, they slept there last night. They seem to be weird about heights. We redid the ramp with a block at the hottom and more cleats and they have no issue now. We have had 3 eggs laid so far in the boxes.

Well if they're currently using the nests and roosts as intended, that's the important thing. So for now I'm leave it as-is and continue to put them on the roost at night until they stick.

Might have to go through all this again once you integrate the young 'uns.

Probably. Tonight, one was on the floor under the roosts again and one was in a nesting box I moved them both so hopefully they stayed put. The youngins are brats so they are going to give me hell lol. They currently act like rebellious teens

They are chickens, much easier to 'fool' and manipulate than a human teenager.
