Thank you for replying. I'm going to try the crate inside the coop, but that won't be until a few more weeks down the road. That's providing my being able to get the crate into the narrow coop door, else it might be a bird-cage size confinement when the time comes. I got frustrated with this...

Thanks! I was concerned about that wild hen. She would come to my yard every day to visit the chickens in my coop and thought she had taken a fancy to my rooster. She often slept in a tree above the coop, but then she would go away for a couple of days then come back off and on...and then low...
