When I kept choocks, we built a coop high enough to stand in and the sides deep into the ground and take wire over the top as well, stop foxes getting in, had a shelter to lay in and a couple of old tree branches as they like to roost off ground, in the wild they live in tree when not scratching round, vary the diet, include corn and other feeds and the odd worm and meal worms live is best and some off your waste food!! Very easy to look after just scrape coop out and use hay for bedding and straw for coop floor, the get smelly in warm weather. If you like gardening particularly roses, compost the waste and give to the roses as makes excellent fertiliser.
