Adding better roost options
We spent some time today re-organizing the roost and nest box
placements in the chicken coop.
A fourth roosting location is
in the corner you don't see in the picture, which might be high enough
for our
rooster to finally feel like he's captain of the coop.
I'll check in on them a bit
after their bedtime tonight to see who ended up roosting on the top spot.

The chickens agree with you. They seem to love their new jungle-gym coop.
I hope you get chickens soon! We always recommend that homesteaders get chickens ASAP because they're really one of the easiest parts of the farm, and mesh so well with the garden and our own waste cycle.
