Thanks. Unfortunately I had to take the bench out. It was great in the beginning, I would sit and watch them and I would always be surprized at how fast the time would go but the poop got out of control. I couldn't keep it clean and since it didn't get rained on it got very nasty vey fast. I'm going to build a bench with a hinged seat that I can flip it up so they can't mess it up.
That was the first thing I noticed because I was always trying to figure out how I was going to get a chair in the coop. I wondered how you could possibly keep it clean! I ended up painting a little stool red to match the ramp and inside of the coop and keep it just outside the pen door. It's worked perfectly to spend some time watching chicken antics.
Very nice job! When I saw the bench, I knew it wouldn't last
, but they are fun to watch! It is good therapy for me to sit outside and watch my horses and my chickens, sooo relaxing! Unfortunately, I work 12 hour shifts and by the time I get home it is already just about dark (and will be very dark soon), so I can't sit and watch them after work. I do get up and drink my coffee with them, it is a great way to start the day!
