Stupid run height question

Mine is 8ft and I am VERY glad I made it that tall. No bending and no smacking my head. The other goodie is that I put some "day time roosts" for my birds to play on during the day. My roo seems to like the higher perch to announce his presence (crow) during the day.
 
i've got a suggestion for those head-smacker door tops. Take one of those foam swimming pool float noodles, the kind you can get at the Dollar Store in the summer. Cut it the width of the door. Then slice it lengthwise and fit it over the top of the door frame. That way when you bonk your head it's only bonking on foam, not metal.

. . . or, you can just make your pen taller.

This is not a stupid question. Make it tall enough to walk into. You will not regret it.

I concur. If you ever want to get in there to catch 1 chicken which is sick or needs treating you'll rue the day that you never made it people height.

Taller is definitely better, but if there's a reason why it needs to be shorter (we want ours to be invisible from the neighbor's yard) you can put hinges on the top to allow it to open upward - that way you have a low profile but can still stand upright when you need to.
