In building this, we used the ladder to the chicken coop. So, we had to get something else.
While we were at the coop, Chris raised the nesting box and fixed the door to the coop (it didn't close snugly enough). I read that 4 hens can share a nesting box, but when I opened this door, they were ALL climbing out of it at the same time. When I read that hens will share a nesting box, I didn't think simultaneously.
Tomorrow we pick up our first farm dog to help protect the place and add to the massive amounts of fun around here. Kids have NO idea! So, don't spoil the surprise.
