Pophole
Backyard Poultry
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!

My, those are healthy-looking chickens!
Neat! How do you get the pophole door closed?
The pophole has a sliding door mounted on the outside. We fastened it with a padlock and key--as if racoons are that smart!
Looks like they all want to go in and out at the same time.
