Ideally, so would I, but until I can get some help to get my 15x20' shed converted, I need something simple and easy enough for me to build. I was thinking of it being off the ground too. Is this a bad idea? Seeing as how their eyes seem to get covered up some what, do they do well with ramps/ladders at all?
Mine will NOT do a ramp still! It's driving me crazy since my two biggest coops are the style where they have to use a ramp to get into the coop.

Funny you just mentioned this. I've got two of my silkies in with my ducks for a few days (as I've had to do some pen juggling due to some temporary 'housing' challenges'). The silkies seem to do just fine with the ducks, nobody bothers anybody else, but I was just watching them try to negotiate coming down the ramp (the hen must have been in laying) and it was torture for both the hen and the rooster. I couldn't figure out what was different about this ramp, and then I remembered (after reading this post!) that none of my silkie houses have ramps. Their houses all just sit four or five inches off the ground. Poor guys -- I'm afraid their just going to have to deal with it for the next few days though.
