    Coop Door Necessary?

    We have a similar set-up. Run is totally enclosed 360 degrees in 1/2 inch hardware cloth, with 18 inch buried apron. The coop itself is about 3 feet above the ground, and the door is in the bottom of the structure, to provide a completely still pocket of air for them to roost in on cold...

    Chickens imitating sounds??
