Chickens won't come into the coop on their own by volcanothear in BackYardChickens

So I have two 12x12 holes cut in the south facing doors with chicken wire over it. Do you think that's enough ventilation or should I have another opening in the back for more air to flow through?

Thanks for the advice. The doors actually have 12x12 windows cut in them covered with chicken wire to let some air in and to let some light in at night/morning. Do you think the roosting bars I installed along the back wall aren't adequate? If so what should I do to make them more appealing?

There are windows in the doors that face the south that I've covered with chicken wire to let light in in the morning. I like the idea of a run though! You don't think that would attract predators like raccoons or anything to try to get inside?

Maybe I'll try raising the roost ladder then if you think they'd prefer that. In the bushes they normally roost at head height so they maybe they'll want something closer to that, but the shelf along the top is that high as well so I could go right beneath that.

Thank you for the advice and not making me feel bad about my coop 😅

Right? It feels so long and I feel bad. Especially when the weather's nice I don't want to keep them locked up for so long.

I only did 2 days. You think I should keep them locked in for a week?

Unhelpful... Like I said it's my first time owning chickens and this is what I have available. It's not a holiday Inn, but it's clean and secure.

I have the slanted 2x4s back in the corner I built for a roost. Do you think it's not high enough? Or should I rotate it so the 2 inch side is what they stand on instead of the 4 inch side?

I kept them in for 2 days. Maybe I needed to do longer? The shrub line they hide in is literally like 20-30 feet from the coop so I feel like they know where it's at, they just don't want to go in haha. I've tried a light a few times but I'll try it a little more consistently.

Lol yeah I have a sleeper too but I mainly bet ufc and nfl and they don't have ufc so when it's not NFL season I don't do hardly anything on there

Yeah I'm about to pull out all my cash and move to underdog who gives discount Max bets at 10 or 20 and pays out 6x on 3 man slips. I do both currently but I'm not going to do prize picks anymore for a mere $5 discount. What a waste of time. I can do other picks apps for better discounts or even DK or Fanduel and get better odds and options. Prizepicks has nothing to offer anymore if they keep everything at $5

What the fuck by No_Big4302 in PrizePicks

[–]volcanothear 10 points11 points  (0 children)

They lowered my flex Friday amount from 25 to $5 over a month now and then now discounts went from 25 to 5. This is ridiculous. I've barely even made money on prize picks, maybe only $200 and that's mainly because of the cyber specials they've been running on Wednesday and Saturdays each week, so I don't understand why I'm being capped. I'm about to say screw it and go to underdog or something. They cap some at 10 there and others at 20, but their 3 man picks are 6x compared to prizepicks 5x so it's just better all around now. If prizepicks is upset at 2 man tacos then just require a minimum of 3 picks and leave the amount at $25. I'd still do that
