We bought this automatic door for our coop almost 7 years ago. Recently the cord that pulls the door up broke. My husband just replaced it with fishing line but it snapped, any idea what material I should buy for the cord?
It feels like forever since I've been active on here, at least 3 years I would say. I had to leave so I wouldn't be tempted to keep adding to my flock! We have 6 layers now, that are 3 years old, so I'm looking to add 4 more to our flock this year. Just ordered a new cord for our Brinsea...

#2 white with buff coloring, puffy cheeks
#3 beautiful...

I am so glad I waited a week, took new pictures, and asked again. Last time everyone said cockerel. I really love her coloring and hope that she is a she.
We put the babies out with the hens yesterday. Well there been out there for 3 days with a divider, yesterday we took down the divider and they slept in the coop last night. Hickety Pickety (Cynthia this is your Rhodebar) hopped right up to the roosting bar with the big girls and went in the...
