We're setting up a very secure chicken pen (tractor supply brand) and will be attaching the coop to it. Was wondering if it's completely necessary to close the coop door if the pen is secure?

When you say confined, you mean in the run and not in the coop right?My coop is attached to a predator proof run. Flock free ranges during the day but they are confined from evening 8pm until 8am- heaviest predator times. When confined the coop and run is very secure The interfacing pop door remains open 24/7; run pop door (to outside) is on a timer.
When the run and attached coop are locked up for the night the flock is confined. The pop door between the run and coop is always open. I have another pop door on the run that is set on a timer to open at 8am- the flock can come and go as they please then.When you say confined, you mean in the run and not in the coop right?
