Mar 14, 2008 Thread starter #5 twigg Cooped up 11 Years Mar 2, 2008 1,389 17 171 Tulsa There isn't actually a *side door* Both of the longer sides are removable for access and cleaning. One has a removable screen that can be left in place permanently, or removed. My next step is to build an enclosed run to attach to the pop-hole end. That will be coming in the next week or two.

Mar 14, 2008 Thread starter #8 twigg Cooped up 11 Years Mar 2, 2008 1,389 17 171 Tulsa Thanks, I entered it. I must say ... although I am vain enough to enter a contest, I look at everyone's coops and just see individual designs that fit the particular needs, budgets and skills of the builders. For me it's not about "better", but variety
