Coop Doors (For Humans)

[junior67]

we are just working on our coop now so haven't built it so loved seeing all the ideas.

But I am doing mine inside the run next to the chicken door (so on the same well). There will be an attached roof covered run so I won't have to worry about the snow etc. and can use the rest of the walls for windows, vents, nest boxes and roosts/poop boards and not have to worry about door space there. So mine can open out with no worries with anything.

Same here.

Cut the siding to make the opening, use cut out piece for the door. Pretty simple and cost effective.

I definitely prefer opening outward. No chance of smooshing a sick bird or having to shove shavings around.
If siding isn't available there are of course other options.
This one is made of 1/2" plywood. Not painted at the time this pic was taken.
