Troubleshooting
Coop is wobbly after assembly
Ensure all screws and fittings are tightened securely. Double-check that the coop is assembled on a flat, even surface.
Wood shows signs of weathering or damage
Clean the affected area and apply a non-toxic wood sealant or preservative. Regularly reapply as needed, especially after periods of heavy rain or sun.
Chickens seem restless or bored
Ensure the coop is spacious enough for your flock. Introduce additional enrichment activities within the run, such as dust baths or foraging opportunities.
Removable tray is difficult to slide
Check for any debris or obstructions preventing the tray from moving freely. Ensure the tray and its housing are clean and free of damage.
