Using these plans (with some minor modifications), I spent the last few days putting this bad boy together and I'm really pleased with how well it turned out! It takes about 2 lbs of pressure to open, so my chicks need to gain about half a pound, but I figure they'll put that on over the time it'll take them to learn to use it. I took a quick video of their introduction as well, they weren't so impressed...but it's alright, I know they'll love it eventually. Hopefully this weekend we'll have the run finished too (unfortunately need an extra set of hands for that project and my husband's been super busy) and then I'll be all set to kick them outside and get my spare room back
