I LOVE THIS PRODUCT.  I'M NOT USING IT FOR CHICKIENS THOUGH.  I CALL IT THE CAT CONDO.  I HAVE IT SITTING ON THE OUTSIDE DECK.  I CLOSED UP THE OPENING ON THE SIDE THAT WOULD ATTACH TO A CHICKEN COOP.   I PUT ONE OR TWO OF MY HOUSE CATS IN THE CONDO AND THEY GET TO BE OUTSIDE DOING WHAT CATS DO:  WATCHING THE WORLD AROUND THEM.   IT GIVES THEM OUTSIDE TIME, QUIETS THEM DOWN AND MAKES THEM RELAXED.  IT'S A PERFECT FUN PLACE FOR THE CATS.
