The coop is suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. Consider the following when choosing a location:

Using your chicken coop is straightforward. Follow these guidelines for daily operation:

4.1 Opening and Closing the Door

4.2 Mobility

• The coop is equipped with wheels for easy movement. To move the coop, gently push or pull it to your desired location.
• For stability once positioned, ensure the wheels are locked if they have a locking mechanism, or place the coop against a wall or other stable object to prevent accidental movement.
