Hey gang, I'm mostly spending my time in the baby chick section of the forum as I became a "New Dad" this week. Things are going great with the 15 hens I got!
Looking ahead, I have a question.
How important is it to close the door to the coop each night? They will be in a caged run with coop inside of that. The run will be approximately 15' x 25' and will be caged on all sides including roof. It will also have wiring buried down about 2 feet into the ground. Should I be able to let them come in and out of the coop as they want 24 hrs a day in comfortable weather?
I guess what I'm asking is, Can I be lazy this summer???
