What inside everyone’s coop ?

[aart]

I was wondering if anyone puts a ceiling in so that your chickens don't roost as high?

Yes, just staple some chicken wire or other mesh onto the bottoms of the rafters..

Inside we have 16 nesting boxes

Why so many?
1 nest for each 3-5 birds is sufficient.

I just have a roost and nest boxes in the coop. All my chickens do is sleep and lay eggs in there. I had a ramp, poop boards etc but they were more to clean up and took more work. Simple is best in my opinion.
