When the coops not good enough
Our take
Building a cozy coop for your feathery friends can feel like a labor of love, especially when you’ve poured weeks into crafting a 4x6 haven complete with windows and 18 linear feet of roost space. But what happens when your chickens decide that the plush interior isn’t quite good enough? In a recent adventure shared by u/Rare-Spell-1571, the excitement of introducing seven new babies to their spacious coop turned into a comedy of errors. Instead of finding the new flock nestled safely inside, one curious 14-week-old decided to perch on a support beam in the run. Join us as we explore the quirks of chicken parenting and the unexpected choices our feathered friends can make—even when we think we’ve built them the perfect home!
 | I spent weeks building them a 4x6 coop with 18 linear feet of roost space. I even got windows! Well we put 7 new babies out today so I was out in the run at night, I opened the coop to only see one of our 14 week old chickens. Well we found them resting on this support beam for the run.
