My coop is one of 6 bays in our shed. I have a small step stool that I use, or I can lay on the trampoline and watch the girls. I love to watch them, it is so peaceful, but I am very envious of everybody else... my girls aren't used to me yet so I haven't been able to get close enough to touch them yet. They are getting better, they do come out of the coop door every morning now even if I am still standing in it. Maybe someday!
