Trying out the Door

This is the door (called a pophole) on the end of the chicken house, with the run door against it. The chicks, now five weeks old, had a ball running in and out of the door! The grass in the picture soon got scratched up and turned into a typical dirt chicken yard. The large door is also on this end of the house, which means the run must be moved every day to do the chores inside. This is an inconvenient flaw in the house design, but we’ll get it fixed!
