    Run Chicken Automatic door

    Hello 👋 I purchased the Run Chicken door. While I do like it, I haven’t really used it yet because the chicks just went out to the coop at 3 weeks, now almost 4 weeks old.

    Our Coop!

    We finished our coop today by adding trim, now I just need my signs 😆 We really didn’t have much of a plan honestly. I looked at a few examples and knew what I wanted for sure on it and went from there. I wanted it raised pretty high to be able to get a good sized wheel barrow underneath, I...
