DIY chicken barrier/dog door

home made dog door from recycled carpet



There's a small piece of 1x1 attached to the bottom edge of the carpet for weight.

We will soon find out if chickens are smart and or strong enough to push through.

Lucy figured it out in 10 minutes once we involved a chunk of Milk Bone.

Brilliant
Great idea, I hope it works. I'd bet it would keep our flock in, including our big rooster.

Dog door in the pasture
I'm hoping so too! If it keeps the chickens in but lets Lucy through, we will have solved the problem of Lucy gnawing holes in the pasture fences to expedite getting from point A to point B.
