So I have the Chicken Guard automatic door. The only issue I’ve had with using the sensor function is during storms and it closing without birds inside. I changed the setting to a scheduled time. I have it set to 20 minutes AFTER sunset. By the time it closes, all girls have been nestled safely...
I JUST bought an automatic door for mine online. I’ve wondered if something like that can happen! I’m a little worried now. I’m thinking I’ll try setting it for 20 minutes after complete sunset to make sure everyone is in Ok. I can’t imagine the horror of seeing that! Glad your bird is ok!
1) I am totally new to chickens! I got my first 6 babies this last April. not all of those 6 survived my stupidity. Lessons learned! I let them have some time outside in the grass when they were about 4 weeks old. They were in a dog crate but the hawks still got to them. Only 3 survived. 😢...
