I have one thats about 4" wide, and only sits about 1½" off the ground.. if i put it in the corner they favor, they'll use it. I have another one just about 1' above, and they don't. But what's funny is one of the new Polish and the polkie will also opt for the floor when they do. I don't think it's that big of a deal if they're on the floor though, i rake it out a couple times a week, so they're fine.
Yeah I don't mind em being on the floor (it's a temporary fix) I just help the girls up onto it so they can escape the boys for some peace lol. The boys haven't looked up!
what a great idea I’m going to make one!I used a free pallet to make a seat for the front of the coop, a few chickies jumped up and had a sit with me and Puff did too. Inspector Biscuit approves, I think.. it is a little broken on some parts but still feels stable when I sat on it so it will be fine
Next project is to make awnings so there is permanent ventilation throughout the year, now I just have it open at the top half of the coop on 2 sides but when it starts getting cold and wet I'll need to cover the open sides but still have airflow.

Thank youLockdown here (day 18) for the big batch of eggs. The 37 remaining are all looking good. Here's hoping for a good/easy hatch without too many malpositions.
Oh I love it, what a neat idea! That is so sweet Puff and some of the little ones came up to visit.
Aww congratulations on the little ones!
