I need to figure a ramp, or move nest to ground when/if babies appear. They can't negotiate the ladder/obstacle course. Any suggestions?

Yeah. Hold on a second…
*goes to look through my pictures already posted here*

Here a couple links to my threads. To specific posts with pictures of ramp designs I made:

(Several parts of pictures on page 5 of this thread have images that short different views and areas of the ramp)

Scroll through all the pics of these threads & you will see images with the ramps I have built inside the crates. These designs are rather simple pieces of wood that are the leftovers from building the coop.

Yes I still have them AND the article I wrote - on a whim- about saving space and making a section of the coop now space for the silkies to have there own space inside the main coop ALSO have detailed ramp design drawings and images to see.

And as always. If you have questions… you know how to tug on my ear!

Ok got the worst part of the leaves raked, and 1/2 in run. Just got this to finish. Puppy has to help. Of course birds gotta supervise

Leaves in run. Cleaned coop. Leaves in coop. I think there's too many leaves in run......oh well. More to dig/fight through.

At some point this year, I’d highly suggest you collect enough cinder blocks to make a complete foundation for the small wood base rails of the coop/run. Keep that wood from roting a lot longer.

It sits on 12 inch flat pavers
