You would laugh if you saw my excuse for a coop. They won't sleep in it and instead prefer to use the flat roof which is a pallet. The sides two pallets with six two by fours on the sides using three inch construction screws. I'll be putting a peaked roof but knowing them they will just fly up to perch on the ridge and from there to find a nice spot in the persimmon branches. The five younger ones abandoned their hatchling crib last night in favor of the second floor as the older ones on top made it clear they are not welcome.
