Nice big run, though it could use some clutter (see this awesome thread for ideas).
You say that the chickens are sleeping on the floor of the coop itself, down below the nest boxes?
That's odd because chickens normally want to sleep as high as possible. Most people put the roost above the nest boxes so that the chickens won't sleep in the boxes.
Perhaps moving the roost up would make it seem like a more desirable sleeping spot?
lol thanks Not quite finished yet. It’s been a huge job! Yes still needs cutting up to catch there water. wire on roof n around the base. just wanted to get my girls out of there small coop.. even though they are free range
I had the roost bar up higher I have put them down lower to see what happens tonight. Thank you for your information much appreciated I’ve never had chickens before and I want to do the right thing by them
