I am impressed with your use of controls in this experiment. Your knowledge of the scientific method is superb, to the extent that your narrative describes nicely your design, results, and interpretations. With the detail you have described you have limited your conclusions to your population and not implied that it would be reproducible in other areas, with other coop designs, other breeds, etc. Hats off to your curious mind, it has provided me with data I can use in building my new coop in the following month! Thanks so much!
