That was actually pretty critical.

Thanks for your input? What I have is what came with the property. I don’t have any trouble catching my hens since they will jump into my lap. There is a “fence” wall (with a small chicken size gate) in the middle of the coop which I have opted to leave in place since I may need that separation at some time. I assume that is the “chicken maze”. I left the sink frames in place because the hens like to jump up on them to actually get closer to me

. I may take them down at some point, but for now I see no reason.
As for the shadows, I am surrounded by large cedars and oaks. We are gradually clearing some out. But I doubt I’ll get any “non shadow” pictures any time soon.

Here ya go!
