How about putting large rocks, cut 2x4's, something/anything on the ground in the coop, to give them something to stand and walk on, that is above the water level.

I have the space under the poop board fenced off. It can be used as an isolation space or a brooder.

I'll echo what @Ridgerunner said "Each chicken is an individual with its own traits." My experience with RIR's is the opposite of what @Penpal mentioned. Our RIR is perfectly content confined to the run and never once has she flown over the 3' fence (nor did her sisters when we had more...

We have a old chair, a freestanding set of stairs (3 treads high), a Little Tikes toybox (that they can get on, but not in) and a plastic playhouse like the image. I've purchased none of this...all was recycled.

Do they know "how" to get into the run from the coop? Is there a pop door they have to go thru, if so, have they been trained to use it? Is there shade for the run? 70/80 degrees, with no shade could be making the Gravel/rock hot.

I think I remember @aart saying they get two bags in one divided can.

I use Stall Refresher and get it from Tractor Supply or Big R. Whatever you get, make sure it's granule not the powder form.

I just tested...I put my hand in the middle of the opening. The door had enough power to push my hand down. The door does move slowly, so that is good. I then put my hand on the ”floor”, but in the opening. I will say it hurt when it shut on it and it did reverse when it pushed back...

I love my Ador chicken door.

I have a Ratproof chicken feeder. It does a great job.

We have an Ador pop door, it is 13" Height x 10.5" Width and our Brahmas go thru it with no issues.

How many chickens do you have? Only two will not roost? Can you attach pictures of your setup? My hens are not allowed to sleep in the nest box. If they happen to be in there, when I do my evening check, I move them to the roost.

We have one hen that lays eggs that tend to have mealy whites when her eggs are boiled. I just don't boil her eggs. The eggs do taste fine and fry up good though.

I have two Wyandottes that are almost a year old and have not layed yet...although I do think one may have layed their first egg yesterday as there was a small egg on their poop board. Hopefully that is a good sign for them laying.

I used a tablecloth, to make my curtains.

Yes, thankfully, the bill has been pulled by the Author. Not only was there a proposed fee, but we would have been required to designate a secondary caregiver. Denver 7 new USArk Colorado Pet Tax

How does your BO do in the Texas heat? I'm in Colorado and have 1 BO that is several years old and three SLW's that will be 1 year old in April. We don't have the heat that you would and I see my BO panting during our summer. Perhaps she is more acclimated to cold and less acclimated to heat...

We've made one of these...it does work. Instead of a pvc pipe, we used an empty soda bottle.

I have two SLW's that are 10 months old and not laying. I'm hoping that with the days getting longer, they will start laying soon.

It was an open box from Amazon Warehouse and purchased during the summer, so was a great price. There are off brands that have similar products, but I was only wanting a name brand (Manna Pro, Little Giant, Farm Innovators,etc) Here is one at Chewy
