Random aside, do you use a treadle feeder? We are trying to head off the rat thing before it happens. I’m planning to keep the food in galvanized bins away from the coop (I realize this is overkill and probably not convenient but neither are rats) and was planning on using a treadle. I have no idea where to start on researching treadles that are actually rat proofNo auto door for me because like you, I'm at home, I work from home. If I'm a little late in the morning, oh well they got some coop time together, my coop is big. And in the evening I need to put food away in galvanized garbage cans so an auto door isn't going to relieve me from going out. I'm not opposed to auto doors, but I'm opposed to leaving food out all night (I will not tolerate rats.)
