Good afternoon all, this question has risen at Snowflake Farm..what do y'all do in a shed type coop for nesting box(s) as far as placement? Here's what I mean, in out present coop the floor is 28 ish inches of the ground and is exterior mounted. With my plan for an 8x10 "shed" coop nesting box(s) would be that high off the floor for the collector's(me) convenience...will this dictate a ramp/walk up for the older one or will everyone be happy with that height off the floor? I'm considering 24-28 inches off the floor with most likely 6 boxes and exterior mounted. Would a 12" landing pad in front of the boxes be acceptable? I/we are finding there are a lot of little details we hadn't thought of going to the "shed" style of coop.
