Forgive me, I have already posted on the end of somebody elses post but have now thought that it might not be the best place to put it!!! I am new to chickens and have a hen house that has what I can only describe as a large key looking thing that pulls the door to the roost open and closed. I have seen the automatic door open and closer and would love to get one so that I don't feel so guilty on a Sunday morning have a lie in!!! However, I can only see ones that work with doors that open vertically - is this right? Can I adapt something that would help me? Any ideas what I could do (obviously getting a new house is not an option at the moment - I think my two girls already have to lay a silly number of eggs to break even, but then they are worth the entertainment value alone!!) It would also make it a lot easier being able to go away for the weekend without having to worry about getting somebody in to open and close them. Many thanks
