automatic doors

Being new this sounds like a great idea but one concern... Are all the chickens in the coop when the door shuts lol?

That's what I wanted to know too x

If you set the door to close after dark, the chickens will be roosting.

If your Chicken run is screened in to keep predators out, do I need the door to be shut at night? I live in Florida so most our temps are not that bad. On those really cold nights I can close it but just curious how important a door is. Maybe I am missing something on why a door should be shut if your chicken run is screened in?

I just dont want to spend $250.00 on a door and realize I really don't need it like say someone who free ranges..

It depends on what type of "screen" you have......

It depends on what type of "screen" you have......

....and what kind of predators you have.
