Looking for some ideas/pictures chicken ramps..

[zekii]

Need to make two chicken ramps for each popp door, and a ramp for the main entrance door to my coop.
Would like to see some pictures of your ramp, entry door steps or ramp ?

Tks

Sorry I don't have a picture. We didn't make a ramp, we use a few big "logs" turned on end to make steps. We dug down a little and buried them securely. I do have to scrape them off sometimes with a putty knife, but I think they'd poop on a ramp too. Best part is the logs were already in the wood pile so it was free AND I didn't have to wait for DH to build a ramp.

You can see two ramps in this picture: one outside and one inside

And in my main coop, the ramp up to the roosts

our door was only about 18" off the ground, so we recycled an old window shutter

the shutter is slatted so it's easy for them to grip, and the poo falls through.

Here's mine:

I got tired of waiting for DH to make the ramp (I'm not sure he really knew what exactly he was going to do) so I improvised. I used two 2x4's we had left over from coop construction, a bag of shims we had laying around the back porch for 2 years (Lord only knows why we had that many!), and leftover roofing nails from roofing the coop. I laid the 2x4's next to each other on the back patio, then took two shims for each of the "rungs" and laid them so that they formed a level square instead of the angle you get with just one shim, and nailed one nail into each end. DH nailed a scrap piece of 2x4 below the pop door and nailed the ramp to this "mounting block." It was free, used up a whole bunch of scrap material we probably wouldn't have had any use for, and I'm rather pleased with how it came out.

I don't have a picture, but I took a plank of wood and then stapled popsickle sticks to them. Surprisingly, it works very well!

Oh boy! Chicken Ramps!

I spent part of my morning making 2 ramps for our elderly rooster. I was also cleaning out the work shop here, so it was all scrap materials.

I made a small one for the roost, an old door frame my maint guy had saved with some moulding cut to the width of the board. And set 6 inches apart (top of molding to top of molding) I wanted it to be easy to move for cleaning but secure too, a L shape bracket and and old shower door handle fixes the ramp to the roost.

Then I needed one for the pop door, our coop is a good 3 feet off the ground, I used two more sections of that door frame (He might have saved a few of them-pack rat) I had a tenant move and dump trash all over, including the wood slats from an Ikea bed frame, so I cut those slats up to fit both parts of the door frame. Same 6" top to top. Attached a section of pressure treated lumber to the ground end and then made a bracket to attach to the coop, Using a scrap redwood 2x4 I made one part to attach to the door threshold of the coop, fit a smaller section to my ramp, and drilled two holes to run an eye bolt in for easy removal.

I will take some pictures and post as soon as I can.

What material did you use for the ramp up to the roosts? TIA
