PALLET PORCH
Very wet weather can mean the chickens traipsing mud into the coop from the outdoors. This can be reduced to some extent through providing a dry porch area next to the pop hole, by putting a slightly raised area at the entrance. A simple way is to use a pallet or section of pallet. It may be a little unsightly, but it will mean some of the dirt from the chickens’ feet will be removed, plus it gets the birds off the ground near the pop hole, which will reduce likely poaching (when the ground becomes puddled with mud and water) in wet weather. The pallet can be cheaply and easily replaced or cleaned when it becomes too dirty.
