Has anyone thought about building handicap accessable coops?

My chicken pen is handicap accessible, because I am. I use an electric scooter to get around. Although I tend to walk into my coop.,I could take my scooter in if necessary. It has a short ramp on both sides of the door (because I can't step high). The door can swing wide. The nesting boxes are buckets with cut out lids, and sit about waist high, so I can reach in without bending. I don't use a feeder, because I scatter the food. My babies tend to like to scratch around, rather than eat from a feeder. The only big problem I have is the waterer. I use a five gallon waterer, and have to empty it before I can pick it up to move or clean it. But my pen has a slight depression where the water flows outside the pen and down a hill. The depression spot dries quickly. I have also recently found some plans for another waterer that looks like it would be much easier to use.
As for the cleaning and poop. I have sand and hay on the floor, so there is no odor that I can smell. The poop dries quickly and is not a problem. I have a neighbor (that I pay) that gives it a through cleaning once or twice a year as needed.

I don't use a coop per say, since winters as a rule tend to be short and mild here. I do have plastic put around 3 sides of the outside during part of the winter to cut the wind, and add an extra layer of hay. My chickens roost on narrow logs put through the wire.

Because I use an Ipad,it is difficult to post any pictures though.

I love my babies. They are very tame. I now have 22 chickens and 5 guineas. 8 of my banties and 4 of my guineas free range. The rest stay locked in their pen. The free-ranging birds will come running when I beep the horn on my scooter and three of the bandies will jump on it and ride around with me.

You have any pictures of your chicken coops I am in a wheelchair also!

Gingerlilypad hasn't been on in almost 9 years. odds of response are slip.

Also, better to ask for a PM. You can even exchange email there rather than where everyone can see it.
