Need answer to size of door for coop??

[mmtillman]

Hubby and I have the coop all finished ....wiring done today...

AND THERE WAS LIGHT!

When we flipped the switch!!

All we lack now is that little door

down by the floor that the chickens will exit to the run each day. POP door??

Hubby wants to start cutting it out and making it , real early in the morning , but wants to draw out his plans tonight.
He is gonna make a little sliding door with a cable attached , that I can raise from outside the coop, each morning ,

before I go in the human sized door on the front.
I read a thread just the other day ....where someone was asking what size that door should be??
But I cant find it now....I am goin to have large hens... DOM, RIR, BUFFS, and BROWN LEGHORNS .....To arrive on April 2.

I hope to get Bantys and Silkies at a later date !!

\\
Anyway..we just need the average dimensions for that pop door??
Thanks again for everyone help so far !!

Mine is 12 x 14 tall. The birds will occasionally push through 2 at a time. I have rirs and EEs that make the rirs look small. My door is a double dog door, as in 2 lexan doors hinged on the outside that meet in the middle.

My coop door is 12 inches high and 9 inches wide. My buff rock and buff orpington roosters have no problems getting in and out. Originally it was 13 1/2 inches tall and 10 1/2 inches wide but my 75 lb dogs could get into the coop.

I have two, one for the enclosed run and one for the back yard.

Both are 12" X 12"

I think it's like 12x15 for standards. I'm trying to find out what it is for bantys...
