    I like the flexibility of multiple coop options too.

    I've noticed Mary often wipes her beak on hard surfaces, maybe to keep it trimmed?

    Any ideas how she did it? Does it look like it snapped off?

    I've caught up on your thread BDutch :) now I'm only behind on Manue's thread. On the topic of cockerels and wastage, I noticed nobody said anything about humane killing. If I tried to kill the cockerel at my house, who is rather big and strong, it would not be humane, it would be extreme...

    That's wonderful! It can take a long time to develop a flock. I'm mostly satisfied with the hens at my house and their coops and run. It very functional, but could use a little beautifying.

    Maybe she's just busy? I'm often a day late on getting back to people, sometimes even more.

    I saw a picture of a very old farmhouse that had a chicken coop up in the roof. The hens went up and down a very long, narrow ramp every day.

    I like this idea!

    That's a good point, when I wanted the hens at my house to switch to the new roost, I carried them to it every night after roosting and after several days, they started preferring the new roost.

    The one thing I've noticed is that the hens prefer higher perches for roosting. Is there a possibility of raising the perches in the playhouse and then giving them time to recognise it as a better option?

    Me too. I only had 3 hens and they were all taken in a fox raid. My fault. Should've had a better chicken run.
