What makes a chicken coop easy to live with?

Hi everyone,

 

I am looking at getting an Eglu for the silkies i have, but unsure which Eglu to go? My concern with the cube is the ladder.

 

Any thoughts on this would be great!

 

Thanks,

Any ladder will be a bit more of a challenge to silkies, but I think most have build them a ramp from some wood. 

I would rather first consider the size of the housing and run, issues with ladders can be resolved.

Yes, it pays to remember that Silkies can;t fly, so ladders pose an issue, also that they need to be kept dry, so you will require a clear waterproof cover for the run.
