Are you meaning the kind where they enter a "box" at one side or the other from the pop door?

Not like a portico but more like a breezeway?

Maybe i can find a picture of the one i made. Nope must have deleted it. The 2 doors are at a 90° angle so it cuts the wind.
 
Good afternoon! So much rain! Not as much wind as they predicted but plenty of rain. I am perfectly fine with less wind. This morning I got every chicken out of the coop in record time by wearing that murderous raincoat of mine. I hated it but I wasn't going out without it. If they wern't such butt heads i'd have left them cooped longer. I can't though not with the molting and the kids, way too much going on for me to trust they won't eat anybody.:D
 
Eating Omega 3 feed and being brown egg layers:

As it turns out, a fishy tasting egg isn’t bad, it’s actually very, very good.
It just tastes bad.

And it all revolves around Omega-3s. Omega-3 is a fat that’s most often found in fish but it’s also found in flaxseed and other things. And the interesting thing about Omega-3 fat is that it can have a fishy scent and taste no matter where it comes from. It’s just a natural characteristic of Omega-3 fats. So the reason your fish tastes and smells like fish isn’t because it’s fish, it’s because it’s filled with Omega-3 fats.

Vegetables also have Omega-3 fats, just not as much as fish or flaxseeds. So if your chickens have been fed squash, lots of leafy greens or beans that could burst up their Omega-3 intake and make your eggs fishy the odd time.

There’s also some research that says certain breeds of chickens, particularly brown layers, that have a gene that converts fatty acids in their diet to compounds that smell fishy. So you get a brown egg laying chicken, throw in some flax seed, greens and a few beans and you end up with more than a farty chicken. You have something fishy going on.
