Removed a Hen from the Coop

I actually didn't remove the curtain but rolled it up. Ruby no longer is a trouble maker and just roosts in the middle. Another hen pulled the curtain down and heads for that spot every night. Sure is peaceful at bed time now.

Folks should take encouragement from your experience to know that chicken uproars are a transient thing.

This is

Thanks for the ideas, mine is not a walk in either (another beginner mistake) but the side where the roost is opens all the way up for cleaning. I'll see what I can cobble up today to make a divider. At this point it's only the one hen being a trouble maker. She will get a red zip tie ankle bracelet this morning before going back into the run for quick identification and behavior monitoring.

this is a great idea!

I'm very glad it all worked out! It usually does, but I surely understood your frustration!
