So, my run stinks. literally.

[NatJ]

i let them out today, and everybody is yelling at me to put them back in. i will let them do it their self if they want them in so bad. (and then let them out again)

Um, think carefully before you do that.

If you are the adult who owns the house, that's your decision to make.
But if you are not an adult, or even if you are an adult but you live in a house belonging to someone else, they may force you to get rid of the chickens if they find the chickens too irritating. So just keep that in mind when deciding what to do.

(I am not asking whether you are an adult or not because that is personal information, and it's better not to post it on the internet.)

If people come to my house and complain about chicken crap on my porch….. they can leave.

Same with pet hair. If they don’t want pet hair on them, stay off the couch.

i have chickens and i have dogs and my
guests don’t have to deal with chicken poop or dog hair.

being a considerate host isn’t that hard.

what are the dimensions of this coop?

 

[NatJ]

In your sketch: it might be more useful to run the perches across the long dimension, and skip the diagonal ones. Any chicken on the end of a diagonal perch has its head or tail squished against a wall, so only the middle parts are comfortable for them. The same goes for the platform in another corner.

The swing will probably not cause a problem, but it might be a waste of effort. The chickens will probably prefer to sit on the perch above it (because chickens like high places), and soon their droppings will make it quite messy. The toy will also get messy if it's under a perch like you show.

I don't see a feeder or waterer in there, so you might want to plan where to put them too.

Have you measured the space you have to work with? Acurate dimensions usually make it much easier to plan.

Do you not have shavings available? Hay in most of the US (especially the north west) is pretty darn hard to find and pretty darn expensive too right now
