I have a coop that has a run but would like to add a run as I got more birds. do the sides open?

There is an opening on one end of the run. It's so it can be attached to the coop. There is also a door near the opened area. This does send you with instructions how to build it, but you might be able to adjust the way you build it.

You open the roof on the nesting box (left side on the picture). You can open the sliding door on the front (open as shown) or you can pull out the shiny tray that is basically the floor of the large square part from the right hand side. If you put this directly on the ground, it may be a little difficult to pull out the tray. We set our coop up on 4 approximately 4" high landscaping bricks. This raises it just enough so the tray always slides in and out easily. The mirrored tray seems very easy to clean.

Yes they would I've had this coop for 2 years with a many as 6 chickens at a time. Directions are not very good, use the picture on the front of the box for putting it together. A good starter coop.

Yes, there are 2 openings, one at the top and one at the bottom. I would suggest chicken wire or something like that to separate the top from the bottom.

It will open if you just put 2 nails in the top so it will lift open. I don't recommend these because the wood is very very brittle and two of them broke just putting them together. I had to put a ton of extra nails in to get the broken pieces to stay together. The bluebirds did pick one out to nest in as well as some wrens.

We started out with six in the spring. We gave away three. There is plenty of room for the remaining three but have to share the double nesting box. Three eggs a day is more than enough for us. So I would say two to three adult chickens. We have a folded tarp on top of run to keep it dry. We also did not fasten top onto coop. Just attached latches. Other wise you could not clean it out if you follow directions and screwed the roof on.

Yes - there are two openings for nest boxes on each top side. This is truely an incredible cage. I get so many oohs and ahhs from visitors.

Hi! I would not recommend this chicken coop. I received the wrong coop in the mail and it was only half there... It was red and white and had no instructions or tray or anything. I ended up getting mine at cconly and am very happy with it.

I use an enclosed feeder with plastic sides that have two holes on each side and there is one hole on each end. Small birds can get in and larger brids cannot. Although this year the Starlings have figured out that they can stick their head and to retrive food.

Yes, the side panels do come with the feeder & they are ajustable. Our window is 31" inches. They work very well & they keep the rain out. We feed the birds a little in Spring/Summer, but mostly in Winter. Use removable calk for poss.heat loss. Also, a second pole feeder outside for the larger birds is adviseable (2 kinds of bird seed). Doves tend to eat where-ever. Haven't had any crows or squirrels(Good!!) Several types of small birds - we love to watch, so does the dog sometimes.

From what I've read doves seem to prefer nest sites that are more open on the sides. Maybe you can find a "nesting box". I just bought this so haven't had any birds use it yet.

The Left side has a Cage Door you could open and leave open or detach, Then Bridge your roof to the exsisting roof. The BIG door opens Top to Bottom on the left side..Remove this door Completely and add the " wing" run from there however your roof line will not be uniform so you will have to construct something to make it weather tight. If I were doing this ..I would use the 1st option ( attached to the left end and Bridge the roof line to match )

I actually ordered two of these to put over our chicken coop. We had hawks getting free chicken dinners! I put them together on the 25' side to make them cover our 30' x75' fenced in area. They have the same edge on both sides, so it doesn't matter which way you use it for lengh or width. They're nice, and we are happy with them. Keeps the birds in and the hawks out.

Yes, there are two elbowed hinges on the "down" side of the roof (at least in my coop). The hinges are screwed into the roof and the end. The picture shows the roof hinged open at the "down" side with two end posts on the "up" side turned up to allow ventilation. The top can be opened further for cleaning.

There is a vertically sliding door that you can adjust the opening. It comes with a wing but for adjusting. I just bought 2 more of these because they are perfect for chickens.

I have two of these cages. One houses 4 Quakers and the other is home to two Green Cheek Conures. All are VERY happy with this cage. The cage is MUCH bigger than it looks in the picture and even knowing the dimensions i was surprised by the size when I put the first cage together!! The side doors are on a spring hinge and don't latch...both the Quakers and Conures figured that out real quick! I small key ring on each door solved that problem. I've also heard of people using twist ties onthe side doors. the birds have LOTS of room to spread their wings and play with toys. So my answer is yes, this cage is fine for Conures :-)

It has 3 access points ... Pop door, nesting boxes & full width side door. The side door being the biggest opening, likely need to tackle cleanout from both sides (nesting & side). Biggest challenge is also how low to the ground it is further making maintenance, clean put or general access generally difficult. That being said, I had similar concern so during assemblely I did not attach the roof so I would had additional access for clean out as well as hanging small feeders. Full perspective - this unit is not strong or durable. It will not keep out any predators. It would be better suited to be kept within a larger structure ... barn. I have mine in a fenced/netted pen, used occationally, for quarantine or transitioning new or sick birds before they go back to the main coop. It has been out exposed to NJ weather almost one year. Ventilation is poor; winter temps were okay, rain & heat causes mold if closed up, summer heat accumulation can be deadly - birds can not be left in coop. My opinion it will not survive another year. Just today I was struggling with opening the pop door (little wood swell) and I thought it was going to crumble or snap in my hands - cedar like wood is thin, similar to wood shims. Exercise caution when deciding on this product.
