They do just jump in. I put a flag stone on the bottom under hay to weigh it down. My fat CX try sometimes and tip them. I have these in random places for a few girls who refuse to lay in coops. The ones in the actual coop I lay on sides. They like that to. Silly chickens.
So they actually jump up into the crate? I was going to use those in my new coop but sit them on the side so they could just walk in. I'm not sure which way to put them now.![]()
