I have a shed that I converted to a coop, problem is when it's locked the doors can still be pulled open a bit. Something has (I'm guessing) squeezed under the door and killed two of my chicks. I need to find a way to close them more securely.
I want to thank everyone for their door suggestions, turns out it wasn't the door that was the problem. It was the corner apparently the PITA Animal figured out a way past my wire right into the roost. I only figured it out because it pulled my Phoebe out and she was stuck, so it ate what it could and left the rest. I did patch up the hole and tomorrow will be fixing it permanently. I put the girls high up in the rafters where they seemed content and fell fast asleep and I brought the chick in since I was afraid she would fall and get hurt.
Unfortunately I lost three birds
