Penthouse

Due to Mama Hen's head trauma in the coop a week ago, the Red Door Coop hens now have quite the penthouse.  If only they would use it when we are not forcing it on them!  Well, like everything with raising chickens (and life) one often has to try things more than once and improve the design each time.  Following are pictures of the current penthouse.  We realize that the ramp is too long and too steep.  Only Lou has been independently adventurous (read: not forced) to climb the ramp.  We plan to modify the design in the next few weeks, in between our upcoming camping trip and cattle drive weekends.  Here are pictures of the current design.
