My poor chooks have had a not so good living condition forever. I hate to admit it, but it was way less than ideal. Mom and I have been saying how we are going to fix it and build them a roosting bar, but we never have. They have been sleeping on this wooden box that is COVERED in poop.
Yesterday Mom and I spent the whole day taking that box apart and we finally built them a roosting ladder.
Them sleeping on poop is awful. I owe them an okay roosting situation for how good of birds they are. (Not perfect because Bolt decides to eat masks while standing on a four foot long rat snake- geez she is kinda dumb.)
This is the before- I know- it’s really awful. No wonder why BBQ’s bumblefoot kept coming back. They would sleep on top of it and it was always wet and caked in poop.

This is after. I am still going to add one more roost bar, but for now it will do. I was the one who screwed in all in place. I did most of it.
Opal jumped up on her own. OMG- you can see broody Willow all poofed up!

This is all of the hens. Pastel was in timeout in a small TSC coop because he attacked my foot about five times… He is so sweet
