Rotate wooden semi-circle retainers on either side (preferably clockwise, as it will keep them tight). While holding
up side, fold down from back side. The end support the posts. Notches in the posts rest down on roost frame.
Repeat on other side. The signature wing doors are a unique, functional and beautiful feature to your new coop.
Remember:
A chicken’s feathers are one of nature’s great insulators. When dry, a fully-feathered chicken with
wind protection can stay healthy in very cold temperatures. Poor ventilation (causing moist, stagnant air) is the
enemy and is the root of respiratory infections in chickens. Don’t be afraid to leave the roost wings up even in
cooler temps so long as your birds stay dry. Especially in hot summer periods, open wings give more shade and
vent the roost, too.

While supporting the waterer, make sure the black rubber grommet is firmly seated into the pre-drilled hole in the waterer.
Twist a little to seat it well, if needed.

Firmly push the end of the poultry nipple with smaller diameter into the rubber grommet completely. It may be necessary
for you to smear a thin coating of Vaseline or vegetable oil onto the nipple so that it can be pushed in more easily. Use a cloth to
protect your hands.
Insert your waterer through the key-hole next to the run door, taking care to let the nipple pass through the slot at the bottom
and then hang the other end of the waterer in the bracket with the nipple facing down.

Fill your waterer with a hose or pitcher. It is normal that the nipple drips some to attract the chickens to it. If it drips to the
point of draining it and puddling occurs, nipple may have been damaged or it may be clogged with debris. Clean and inspect the
nipple. If you still have the problem, contact us, and we will send you a new nipple. If you bang or drop the waterer and the
nipple is struck, it can become damaged.
