The coop is 5x6.6. We currently have 4 birds in our flock. Predator proof run is 5x10 plus a 5x4 triangle.
Current layout in the coop has the nest boxes higher than the roost area so we are going to move everything around. Nest boxes are 33in off the ground above the pop door. Roost is a ladder layout with the top rung being level with the floor of the nest boxes.
Here is my idea for the new layout. The red bars are roosts. The poop boards will be about 18 inches off the floor. What height should the roost bars be at? I know our rirs can jump/fly 33 inches because I left our ramp up and they were able to get to the nest boxes. We also plan to put storage shelves about the pop door (chicken supplies and bagged christmas lights).
Input or ideas greatly appreciated!
