I recently built a coop out of an old play area. I built a ramp so chickens can go up to the laying area but I'm not sure how steep is too steep. Any advice?



 
That angle is fine. I have a steeper ramp for my coop, and the chickens move on it fine. I'm guessing that my ramp is around 40 to 45 degrees.

Chickens should be able to move up and down your ramp easily.
 
it should be fine mine only use the ramp when their younger. my coops 2 1/2ft off the ground and they don't use a ramp they fly down or jump up and use the ramp like a landing pad just to got inside. my ramp looks close to the same angle yours is.
