Hello from the frozen state of Iowa!
It was -17f this morning and when I got down to see my ladies, the automatic door was still down. The girls are just fine, hungry and a bit thirsty, but fine. I got a screwdriver and removed the door to allow the girls out of their coop. It is solar powered so I brought the entire thing into the shop to thaw and charge via a usb port. My question is do the girls need a door on their coop? It is a very safe run, so I’m not worried about that. I could make a plywood door with a hinge and go out and open it in the morning and close at night. Is this the best plan? As always, I appreciate people’s advice! Thank you!
