Yeah we haven't left town in years. We are going to soon and have a house sitter lined up because I have no idea how else to do it.

Hahaha uh...no. My actual coop door is open to a predator proof run so the girls can get up whenever they want. I dont close the coop itself unless its freezing. I close a door between that run and a bigger one where food and water goes. They get fed when I wake up. Cause I'm the boss.

I don't use an automatic door. My husband brought it up when we built the coop but I realized it can't count chickens and I'm going to be out there to get the food anyway so I might as well close the door while I'm there 😆

A simpler way to think about this is when do your chickens need to eat and where will they be at that time? They don't eat at night so they don't need food in the coop. Don't worry about mice getting into a feeder during the day because chances are your chickens will go after them in that case...
