Run door

[Slaphappy]

Do you push in the door. Or pull open.

Which "run door" are you asking about? If you're asking about the "people" door I use to walk into the run, I pull it open. If you're asking about the "pop door" for the chickens to get into the run from the coop, it's hinged at the top, and I pull it open. Actually, it stays open 24/7. I never lock the chickens in the coop.

For my walk in coop, I was dumb and made the people door open into the coop instead of out towards the rest of the world. Waste of good space since I cant install anything permanent within the arc that the door swings. Also fun when the birds pile and scratch stuff to block the door from opening....

For the human doors to the run, both of mine swing out from the run. I pull them open when I want to enter.

Your not too far from me, With our crazy snowy winters and with the animals always at the doors, We have our doors open outward so nothing obstructs the doors, and we can slip in without a animal getting out.

I was talking people door. I plan on having a chicken guard auto pop door.

My people doors on coop and run swing out

Many winters when we have blowing and drifting snow storms i would have to shovel lots of snow in order to open a door that pulled outward.

I have snow inside and outside my run...so door swings outward, after I shovel.

I've got both.
Somethings need to be able to swing door open further.
Sometimes I just need to nip into the smaller pen.
It truly depends on what your doing which one you need.

We pull ours open. But ive seen some that slide open and closed. Ive never seen a push open one.

This is our set up:

it has a pulley up top. We just pull the cord every morning to lift the door and attach it with a eyelet to a screw to keep it open. At night we take it off the screw to drop the door. Hope this helps
