i have 1 girl who’s always insisted on sleeping on the floor in the corner of the coop. i finally decided to stop fighting her and accommodate her with her own little 2x4 roost that’s 5” off the floor. i have thick pine shavings under her as well as extra insulation outside under the floor where she sleeps
now with winter coming my concern is the cold air that comes in the hatch door when i open it early in the morning (430am) before i go to work so they can access their fenced run until i get home and let them out to range. since she’s at ground level and the hatch door opening is at the other end from her (about 10’ away) when i open it i’m sure she’s feels the cold air right away
what can i use to offer her some shelter without blocking her in ? i’ve read mixed reviews about a bale of hay... so i was just hoping for some ideas or feed back what other people use
thanks !
