Hello, I am using an old kid hut that used to be part of a swing set. I am trying to figure out how tall the opening should be so the chickens can get in and out with no problem. I think I have it at 15 inches high by 17 inches wide. I am still playing around with the design so I figure before I screw everything together, I'd better make sure I have it right.
Also, The hut is propped up via a platform which is 29 inches high, I already cut 15 inches off the legs so I can easily grab the eggs. Should I put a piece of plywood on the steps from the ground to the hut (coop) or will the chickens be able to "hop" or "fly" there way up via the steps.
Thanks for any advice,
Dan
