Hello from Cincinnati

[kenhen]

Hey!
I live in Cincinnati and am currently building a coop not too far from the downtown area. My plan is to finish up the coop this winter and get 3-4 Buff Orpington chicks in the spring (April?).

I am currently looking for a piece of hardware that I know exists, but that I can't seem to find and I don't know what its called. I am looking for a latch for a vertical sliding chicken door. When the door slides shut, it will automatically latch and lock on the inside so it can't be pushed open from the outside. Then when I pull on a rope, which is attached to the door portion of the latch, the latch will open and the door can slide up. Any help locating a piece of hardware that does this would be greatly appreciated!


Thanks,
Matthew

This is a pretty old post, hopefully you see this. I’m in the Cincinnati area and need a good home for a duck if you are or know anyone in the community who could provide that.

Howdy kenhen you are correct in that this is an old thread and I just wanted to say that you might want to Find Your State Thread or post on the Duck Forum.

Best wishes finding your duck a new home.
