Cat door, auto door combo

Good plan! Keep us updated

Well I did as I said and kept adding plastic strips. Today I finally replaced the strips with the plastic door, I removed the magnet from the door to make it lighter. It falls into place without it anyway. After 30 minutes of earnest effort I thought I was going to have to go back there and push them through, I watched them from my chicken cam, but to my surprise the first one made it through and the others followed within 10 minutes, success! It maybe complete over kill, but they used a cat door! Hopefully they get better with as time goes on. If nothing else it gives them something to do!

I made "insulated" flaps for my pop door (upcycled from a tablecloth). Glad to hear your chickens are using the cat door.

All I see is striped pajam pants someone left sitting around.

Hi, I put an automatic door and a cat door together. The automatic door opens in the morning and closes at night. The cat door is free swinging and was added to keep out the drafts. It is made with clear plastic. Has anyone trained their chickens to use a cat door? Do you think this will work?View attachment 3279876

My chicken opens it. Look at my post.
