4m x 3m Omlet pen, cube, new auto door still boxed and coop light

[chickenlegs]

Ok here we go, seeing as the logic side of my brain is now given over to providing my chickens with any and all creature comforts, I have now decided to build a 2m x 4m walk in run with eglu on raised shelf, having designed then priced up materials, now realise I am eating what are possibly goning to be the most eggpensive eggs on the planet. Any tips apprecated, from best angle of ramp (don't want them coming down too fast and landing beak first in the dirt), to best types of materials i.e. treated or kiln dried timber. Any and all suggestions welcome!

i use a ladder it about 400mm(hight of coop floor of the ground) up 800mm out made out of 4"x2" treated timber with 2"x1" treated about a foot wide scewed on top 2"apart a 10 week old hydrid used it with no problems

treated timber is best

 

 

with this they have to take there time or jump up or down both of which they do with no problem

Look out for tanalised timber-this is a bnit more expensive than normal stuff but well worth it as you don't need to treat it.
