I installed a Pullet Shut solar powered door in the "people" door on the west side. It works great and the chickens have no problem going up the steps to get into the house.

If I still lived in LaPlace I'd consider building a Wichita looking coop covered fully with metal screen then covered that with hardware cloth and an alligator proof run. Or build a dog house like one of the Schwegmans brothers had in their front yard on Airline Hwy in Metairie in the 70's with an air conditioner in it lol.

I miss the food but not the heat and skeeters...

Most of my chickens are okay with the heat (except the cochins... poor things.)
I wanted a Wichita! But I'm aiming for around 24 in my flock.... that would have to be one humongous Wichita!

That sounds like one heckuva luxe dog house. Wow.
