Door next to nesting box. Need run design.

[CityChicken716]

Hello.
First time chicken mom.

I had to put the chicken door on the same side as the roosting boxes. Originally I was just going to box out the entire side for the run construction.

Does anyone have any input on how to have outside access to the nesting box in this case?

In this picture, the smaller door is for the chickens, the larger is for the nesting boxes.

Thanks.

Don't see why you can't put external boxes extending from there, with either access from top or front of the nests, and then just run a ramp/steps down from the pop door. Is there a spacing issue or something?

OH, you're trying to figure out run placement... maybe a chicken tunnel from the pop door? Extend it out, then turn 90 degrees to the side?

Yes. That's the only option I'm coming up with. Like a hallway.

Can you put an access door for nesting box from the side? (Not top or back). From the backside of the coop in the photo?
