I have a full grown male, and I'd say to make the pophole about 14-18 inches high and no less than 14 ins wide, although mine is probably no more than 11 ins wide and 13 ins high but he has to squeeze in!

My big buff orp cock gets thru a hole 11.5"x11.5"- just been and measured it.
All these moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain.

All of ours managed to fit through a 7 inch square gap in the fence no problem yesterday, even the BIG girls.
I may take my time.....but i'll get there in the end.
