I am building a coop/run for my brown leghorns. my question how long should the ramp in regards to the height if the entrance to the coop. O dont want to build it to steep for them to walk on. thank you
 
They don't need a ramp unless you're planning on wing clipping. A landing platform is plenty.
 
how long should the ramp

A good rule of thumb in a perfect world:
Make your ramp twice as long as the drop which would give you a 6/12 pitch and an angle of 22.5º.
"A 4x4 block or larger attached to the end of your ramp to make a step up will do a lot to reduce the slope also."
