what's the chickenwire tunnel at the front door for? only thing i can think of is it lets the chickens see if there's a bird of prey above? but I don't know if that's something chickens are checking. or keeps certain large predators from fiddling with the door (but not large like a bear), but doesn't seem the door should open anyway
