sorry, I'm a little confused. there are 5 pictures but only 4 answers, which are which? the silkies were non sexed when we bought them but the white one with the red comb was supposed to be a pullet but it has been acting very dominant and think it might be a rooster.

sorry for the duplicate first picture

Yes it is a door in the bottom. I think I'll do that. They have no problem going up, they will either fly all th way to the hole or stop half way and then fly the rest of the way. I just think the ramp is more in the way than it is helping
