Coop rethink

[DoswellGuy]

My coop sits on top of an 18” tall stand I built for it. Then I put a ladder leading into the coop. I guess that’s why I haven’t had a problem with them sitting on top of the coop. The birds only go in to roost at dark, and then lay eggs in the nesting boxes the next morning.

Mine like to parkour around the run to get to the highest spot, lol. Keeping them from getting over a fence will be a challenge. I've already moved several outdoor storage units away from the fence line and put them against the house. My current rule of thumb is, if I can see the top of it, they'll make it up there.
