I am trying to convert my existing dog house & run into a coop. The dog house itself is more of a shed with no door. It's 8x8 with a vaulted ceiling & lighting both inside & out & a cement floor.The attached chain link run is 10x13 with a dirt floor. I plan on putting hardware cloth around the bottom with an apron, & over the run as well. Does that sound secure enough? My main question is with the door.I'm not a very handy kind of girl, so I need something simple. I live in west Texas high desert, so it doesn't get that cold in winters, but summers are tough. I asked some local chicken keepers & they all said just to put a screen door on it with hardware cloth. Would that be sufficient? I'm open to all ideas here, just keep in mind my lack of crafting ability.
