How many coop doors for 1000 chickens?

[Mouthpear]

are about 2 - 2 1/2 feet high and 1/2 feet wide

ONLY 6 inches wide. That's not enough! I think....

fit through without any problems.

only 6 inches wide will definitely make problems.

Agreed. Also this post is 4 months old now so I’m sure they figured it out by now.

Well, and they never responded to the thread anyway.

Yes but, one does not "I'm planning to build 40ft x 80ft chicken coop for about 500-1000 egg layers." and it's done three months later. That sort of build takes time. I'd say right about now would be time for an update.

Hmm excellent point!

Sorry meant 1 1/2 feet - I edited it! Thanks for catching this!

I have seen plenty of those threads on BYC. Seen people give a wealth of information but the threaded starter never comes back. Got to admit it bothers me a little. I mean, people took the time to give their time and knowledge and the thread starter just disappears, not even leave a thanks or even a like. OR WORSE..... They start a new thread a couple of days later asking for more help. Yet they haven't bothered to respond to their previous thread. But oh well, nothing you can do about it.

Figured as much.

Me I think it can be done with several openings. Depending on building structure. Like in the videos I posted in this thread post #12. But instead of just the EGG opening, the entire 14 1/2" between suds can be used.

The best answer was, one door a lawn chair and a cup of coffee and watch the fun every morning!
