Troubleshooting
Coop feels flimsy after assembly
Double-check that all screws and bolts are tightened securely. Ensure all panels are correctly aligned before final fastening.
Water is pooling on the roof
Verify the roof is correctly attached and that there are no gaps. If the material itself is damaged, it may need patching or replacement.
Nesting box is difficult to access
Ensure the access door to the nesting box is fully opened and that no bedding material is obstructing it. Check alignment of the door and its hinges.
