We cut a window in the side for light and air and lined it with hardware cloth.
Our 3-year-old. She LOVES the chickens.
Since we had the inside of the coop separated into two sections, the new babies could be "in" the coop to meet their mates without being thrown together too soon. We kept them like this for a couple of weeks. The white picket fence in the previous photo was moveable, but we typically just climbed over it to feed and water.
We started with 25 Buff Orpington chicks. At Easter, my daughters fell in love with baby chicks at the local feed store, so they moved into the house when the Buffs moved out. Once they were a few weeks old, we moved the 4 white chickens into the coop.

The finished doors. I love them! We would do a couple of things different in the future, but they still work great.
Since the coop had no doors, we built them. Again, we used the free corrugated tin and lumber for the framing.
The chickens were moved from our living room (!) to the coop at about 2 months old.
