Could you have a pulley system that opens a pop door into the secondary area? That way you could open it from another location. I did one with 2 pulleys and wire where I lived before so I could be outside and still open the pop door. Not sure this helps your situation?
I was originally planning to build an 8x10 coop with a covered 10x15 run for 9 hens. Now I’m planning to make the coop larger and use repurposed windows and doors to completely enclose the run.
From what I’m reading we have a hot summer to possibly buy us time to get the coop’s ready for potential full lockdown should it get as bad as the UK here. The heat I understand kills the virus back through the summer. Sadly I anticipate it will get that bad but we do have time and at least know what’s coming.
