We are finally getting our chooks at the end of April and doing the last bits to their home

They are 3 Buff Orpingtons :DWhat size should we make the pop hole for them?I can see us making it to big or too small.

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!
