I like that you can see through the ladder

[@HomesteadEngineering]

Excellent video. I definitely prefer the ladder. Thanks!

[@reprosser]

I started with a ladder, but the young pullets seemed to have difficulty. I added a ramp and it was easier for them. Both are in the coop and they are larger now and are using both. So, it may be an issue for the ladder with younger/smaller birds. Thanks for the video.

ya videos are absolutely phenomenal ❤ wish ya did video chicken twice a week its the best

So i just built a coop and have 4 chickens and only one of them hows how to use the ladder I made. They try to walk up the side like a tight rope, and get frustrated and go back down when they start sliding. I put some plywood on top of the ladder and made a ramp just like the one you showed.... Waiting for tomorrow to see if they use it! But I love the look of the ladder and would prefer it, but my chickens might be special lol

My girls love their ladder-- they were 4 ½ months old when they moved into their Carolina Coop, and they did figure out the ladder pretty quickly! I had to give assistance the first few times, one or two of the girls would stop at the top or just inside the Henhouse, causing a fluffy traffic jam on the ladder! They're good now, though, and I'm getting over the need to clean... LOVE LOVE LOVE our Carolina Coop!!!

I put ladders in my coop. The girls liked it. But since the coop is on the ground they only needed help getting up to their roosting bars. So I put one bar lower to the ground and they used that to get up to the higher ones.

Tip- stain your ladder brown even if your coop is white.

[@TubeRubble]

I love the ladder - thinking of DIY version. Is the side frame 2”x4” and the rungs 1”x2”?

[@0505abab]

Awesome video answered my question and I thought they would jump on every rung not walk very cool video

[@stephm281]

Our girls love there ladder on there American Coop. ❤️❤️❤️❤️🐔🐔🐔🐔

[@sparkyprep2077]

Great video as always

[@Xarcell]

I would like to see some kind on detachable design where all I have to do to remove it is lift it up.

[@tory464]

❤👍Great video, & info.✌

[@ElizaGable-qd6zz]

Do you build moveable hen house or chicken tractor?

[@Baruchfarm]

How far apart are your ladder steps?

[@duboislegacyfarm]

You just made me want to try a ladder because it’s shorter and cleaner. Thanks for the tip.

[@YoshEeve]

After watching this I really want a ladder, but I have silkies 🥺

[@rebeccaplumlee9601]

I like ramps as i may have "special" birds. I dont mean silkies but some banties & i have often "rescued" injured or handicapped birds. Sometimes i have confused ducks that think they r chickens & ramps work best for them

[@tonyaporter7224]

How far off the floor are the roost bars in your coops?
