    Securing pop door on new coop

    I'm looking for a coop door opener, that swings a door open and closes it at night. They are so expensive, does anyone have any ideas for DIY? Is anyone selling one that they are not using any longer?

    Swollen chicken feet with white bumps

    Thank you! She is a sweet hen and is very happy with her bed. I also carry her around from place to place when I can so she can go to her favorite spots. It is just not that hard to be nice to a little chicken ;)
