What I did for my chickens - to try to keep everything else out: make a "chicken only door" a few feet above ground (above kid level) width about 12" x12" depending on the size of your hens. And depending on how high it is off the ground - you can either make some kind of perch for them to fly up to to get in(downfall is that they may perch on it at night instead of going in) or you can make a little "chicken ladder" - use a 2x3 and tack on a few furing strips so it looks like a ladder so they get some traction going uphill, and you should be ok. Hope I helped.
