Revised to be more clear.
Hello im new to the Chicken venture.
I have been doing alot of reading and cannot find an answer to this question, so heres the situation and maybe someone will have some advise.
I have a SHED/Childrens playhouse in my yard its a 2 story (2floors) 10x10 structure very secure alot of windows and I feel it can easily be converted to a chicken coop and its in a perfect area for 2 Run's.
I am looking to keep a few varieties and would like to keep them seperated.
This playhouse/2story shed has a upstairs/penthouse suite (lol) the second level is about 8-9 feet off the ground.
Ok to be a bit more clear.
I want 2 seperate runs outside 1 run would lead into the main floor coop
the 2nd seperate run that houses another type of chickens would need to go up the 8 foot ramp to get into the second coop on the top floor.
The chickens on the main floor will not have access to the top floor or vise versa.
So my question is = will chickens go up a 8ft ramp to get into the coop on the top floor.
My guess is they will but I not 100% sure.
Questions:
If I Built a Ramp that high would they feel secure enough to use it? Or would they just stay outside in the run?
Any advise would be appeciated.
Thanks
