The only way I get mine to roost is by having multiple silkie roosters inside their coop. Then the lower ranking roosters hop up on my wooden veggie crates. Big man on campus stays on the ground with the hens. I do agree with @aart regarding enhancing ventilation and yep you got it more hardware cloth would be a good choice. Additionally, if you are expecting silkies to hop up into a coop...... probably not going to happen in our lifetimes.![]()
LOL, no, they have a ramp that leads up into the coop from the run. This is just a crappy pic and you can’t see it since it’s shadowed under there. Here are pics below.. But a hardware cloth side would be better than just windows, you think?
this is the side with the small window, then the other side facing a the shed has a window that runs the length. I made this window smaller since it isn’t as sheltered from rain.
