My girls are in a large dog crate on sawhorses. They are in our finished basement and watch my husband (his office LOL) and me going about our day. Side access has made them (second brood experience) much more relaxed. In our second week- they are starting fethering out! We are building a larger coop but very soon these girls will get the smaller coop with adjoining run to their 2-year old sisters (who run to me and dont mind getting picked up and stroked). Whether its the arrangements, the breed (buffs), or our interactions (prob all); we have had 0 issues! Thanks for the article- makes complete sense!
