5.1. Accessing the Coop
The coop features a main walk-in door for full access and a convenient half-door feeding system.
- To enter the coop, unlatch and open the main door. Ensure it is securely closed and latched after entry/exit to prevent escapes and predator intrusion.
- The arched roof design allows for easy walk-in access without needing to bend excessively.

5.2. Feeding System
Utilize the independent feeding port (half-door) to provide food and water to your animals without fully opening the main door. This minimizes the risk of animals escaping.
