Chickens keep coming into (human) house!

[Aunt Angus]

Gosh, they are cuties! Makes me want to bring my chickens inside for a visit - lol!

So true!

My sister had a horse that figured out how to open doors. She'd come home to find Casey in her living room.

So true! We had to keep our girls in the stables at one time and I had to make a conscious decision to close the door behind me, because if I didn’t, it became the whacky races!! I’d let them outta the stables..they sensed that door was open!! Before I knew it, they were in the dining room! Lucky we have safety gates for the dogs to stop them going into our living quarters when they are wet and muddy! But how cute is that

As @Aunt Angus said, you can look at a screen door with a doggie door on it.

Thats amazing! My horses have come to walk up the few step or two but not opening doors yet! My mare did lift that gate off the hinges though!!!! It was so fun chasing four loose horses in the dark....

Only thing if I install a screen door then my dog can't go in and out through his doggy door

Well, mine just went though the screen door. Easy-peasy!

They want to be with you… I had one raised with dogs, she thought she was a dog, came to the recall whistle, slept in the dog house, got really upset when the dogs were in the house and she was not… one funny RIR.

Could you maybe put a second gate on top of the bottom one?

Either a screen door with a doggie door accessory, or buy chicken diapers for when they're in the house. They do make them.

We have a screen over the back door that opens down the middle and closes with magnets. My dog just pushed through to let herself in and out, but the chickens never quite figured it out. Worked well all summer for us, though they would camp out right on the back porch and stare in at us

Lowe’s carries a storm door that has a built in doggie door in the bottom section. You can lower the glass of the top section or remove the glass all together. I think I paid less than $200 for mine.
