I wonder if it would work to put them on the roost every night before the door closes as sort of a training exercise? And block the door exit from the inside? They might catch on to this after a few days?

I sure hope you can train them! That boxed in opening is a great idea to keep rain out. I wonder if they like it so much, they want to hang out there, near the fading light? Do you have a window or two in your coop to add some natural light, to encourage them to go in?

I know you can install them side ways, not sure about upside down. @AdorStore might have more input?

Does the built in sensor get full light exposure? I'll mention again that adding the external sensor on the bright side of the coop has made a world of difference on when the door opens and closes (closing being more important, of course). It now closes when it is nearly dark, so the chickens...

Have you considered adding the external light sensor and running it to a location with a bit more light? (not sure of your set up). As mentioned, mine is installed in the run, but low down, facing inside. Still, it is the run, and open. Due to early closure, late opening, I added the external...

That's got to be very frustrating, PhilipNat4. I've had mine about 3 months, and it has worked flawlessly. Time will tell.

Yes, it is as MattWeatherFord said. I purchased my lantern battery at Walmart. I got the slightly better one for $6. Thanks for this feedback! I have used the hardware cloth in my entire run and as a 2 foot apron. I am going to consider using it underneath if needed. I have closed all gaps...

I'm looking forward to your ratproof design pics!!!!

I've only had the Ador1 for about 2 weeks. So far it has been great. I have it set up in my run @ a free range door, as my run is very secure. My pop door stays open. It does have the 'Last Call' as an option. The default setting from the factory is that this is disabled, but there is a way...
