    Home Alone Chickens Problem

    Or if you have a tractor, there's not even the need for an automatic door. My aunt rigged one up for her chickens using light sensitive things (sorry I don't remember the wording) and that works well for her Chicksaw-style coop.

    Home Alone Chickens Problem

    Following to see what people say! I know that if you keep them in a chicken tractor there wouldn't be the twice daily opening/closing the coop door. I've seen buckets outside attached to chicken nipples inside the coop/tractor, fill them with water, that'll last them awhile, how long I'm not...

    Best Chicken Breeds for Pesky Neighbors?

    Yes, @cherrynberry, that would be my plan B, giving eggs to neighbors in exchange for peace. ;) So if there are quiet, good layers... yes that's what I'm looking into, good layers, quiet hens.

    Best Chicken Breeds for Pesky Neighbors?

    @Alohacayo yes I've been planting trees this winter and planning to put in a few Mexican Sunflowers along various gate areas that seem a little too open.
