Nestera coop letting rain in

[kattabelly]

I found fixing a length of that stuff sold as drawer liner for pots and pans works well on the ramp, which some birds here slip on. It hasn't been an issue with the poop trays; are your birds walking on the smooth base sheet directly? Maybe sharp sand would work better than shavings in that case?

Yeah, smooth base, I didn't get the separate trays. Sand is a good shout if I need it in future, thanks.

I've put a little step under the bottom of the ramp so they have to hop up onto it but then the walk up is less steep. That seems to stop them slipping there. I think I'll try adding another step just inside, at the same height as the bottom of the doorway, to make stepping inside easier and less intimidating for the smaller chicks too.

The bigger idiots seem to like it in there
