Ideas for these as accessories and enrichment?

[chicChickChick]

I found these two doors for $1 each. I want to do something interesting/enriching in the run or coop with them. Ideas?

Ruler for scale is 24 inches

Maybe it helps to get mire replies and tips if you change the title (add doors) and if you add a picture of your coop?

Maybe open up a wall in the coop, add hardware cloth (½ “) for max ventilation in sumner. and add these doors to close the ventilation openings in winter. ?

I also like the idea of turning one or both into shutters. But, we have been known to get 100 mph winds.

An easy answer for enrichment in the run is to just make a tepee out of them. The chickens can perch on top, use the shade underneath, it’ll get a breeze through if you turn them the right direction relative to prevailing wind, and it would be a hiding spot while integrating new chickens.

Oh friends! Very creative but I’m looking along the lines of making a teepee or something. The coop has all the doors, holes and shutters it needs. ( and my very indulgent spouse may lose his mind if I request any more customization)

I have unlimited scrap wood, twine and chicken wire and limited skills with hammer, nail and power drill

Or put 4 legs under them so they're like small tables, and the chickens can run under them for shade or jump on top for a bit of height. Even small platforms seem appreciated by my flock.

If you get 100mph winds, make them into a wind block structure
