We are building our own coop but I have some details I am unsure of. We are getting Orpingtons and Wyandottes. The book I have says to keep the roost no higher then 2 feet off the floor so they don't injure themselves jumping down in the morning, but with the roost that low do they need a ramp/ladder to get on? I don't have any clue just how much they will be able to get off the ground.
Next question, can I use "Worlds Best Cat Litter" in the pop pan under the roost safely? It is a corn based product but I don't want to harm my girls and keep them clean. Thank you for your input. Hopefully by the end of summer I will be a chicken know it all. lol
