They actually love it that high. At first we had a makeshift one lower but they never were on it. Now they all go in on their own and are ready for bed when it starts to get dark. We are in the process of building a tray type thing to go under it to catch poop. But the nesting boxes do have a partial cover so that catches most of it for now. We have 6 hens- the most you're allowed to have here in Fort Collins. My daughter loves watching them roam the yard!
