What Is a Good Size Door?

[NC Chick Man82]

I want to cut a door for chickens into the main door i use to get into coop. What is a good size door to cut for adult chickens to get in and out but helps keep larger predators out as well? I am planning on having it on a slide so I can slide it up for them to get in and down to keep them in and everything else out.

Mine is 12" wide by 14" tall.

Just note tho....12" x 14" won't keep anything but the largest dogs out.

Mine is 9x12 I wish I had cut it about 12 inches from the bottom of my door now instead of 6 inches.

Mine is a guillotine type door also. I open it with heavy weed wacker twine but may change to a car antenna motor.

Here are my birds also.
