House? No!
It is aptly named the Chicken Palace.
If it weren’t for the current rat visitors I would say it is nicer than the Big Coop that I roost in!
I will freely admit I got a bit carried away.

I propose "Chateau Tassels" for the coop cage! I meant cage!

sheesh

Oh no!
I now also keep a crate ready permanently. It hangs on chains from the rafters and is above their door so it gets maximum draft underneath!

first day with the new door
it worked!
but it makes a noise.
i watched on the camera and nobody came out.
so i went out there to check and i opened the nestbox lid.
only thelma was sitting there. i could not see louise!

mind, this is early in the morning, so my brains aren't awake.

i looked all around under the coop. behind things, etc.
did she go out of the coop before the door closed last night?
i looked at thelma as if she might have eaten her.

i opened the gnome door, and there was louise on the roost like "what was THAT?!?"

i think they have to get used to the door
