Construct Internal Nesting and Roosting Areas

What happens here

Inside the main coop, install multiple nesting boxes, lined with hay or straw, to provide comfortable and private spaces for hens to lay eggs. These boxes are designed with external access for easy egg collection, minimizing disturbance to the chickens. Additionally, incorporate roosting poles, ideally made from sturdy wooden branches or dowels. Crucially, these poles are angled to ensure that chicken droppings fall away from the nesting boxes and into the bedding material on the floor below, maintaining cleanliness in the egg-laying areas. This thoughtful design helps in preventing egg contamination and promotes a healthier environment.

Goal: Design the internal components of the coop, including nesting boxes for egg laying and roosting poles for sleeping, with specific considerations for hygiene and chicken comfort.
