Coop door open?

[jackiedon]

Ok when you said one of the mistakes is leaving the coop door open was this while you were free ranging them?

If so this is stupid question Why?

I think they meant overnight.

Okay, I understand that. I leave my door open when they are freeranging.

i've found with my little ones, if i don't close their sleeping coop when i tuck them in, there is one little girl that pops out and runs around the pen. Then she gets scared and can't figure out how to get back in because it's dark and hard to see. So i find it best to lock them in their nighty night coops at bedtime. This is also an extra layer of protection in case some varment makes it through the chain link and hardware cloth of the surrounding run area.

Was that what your question was about, or am i totally off base?

Oops, never mind, looks like we posted at the same time and my post was not necessary.

It was overnight. I let them free-range all day, so the coop door is open then.

I just realized it was Angie's i read about the coop door and i guess this had nothing to do with my post after it. Thats cool

Sorry for confusing everyone. I was wondering if I shouldn't leave the door open when I've let them out to free range. I leave the door open just in case we are later coming home or if it starts to rain.

I just wanted to make sure there wasn't anything I was missing.

I leave the coop door open when they free range.

For the same reasons you do.
