Coops and runs

[gwpd]

I have six checks(6wks)my coop is enclosed with my run do I need to close my roosting box door every night?

Welcome to BYC! Do you mean the coop door? Yes. It is never a good idea to leave it open, especially if the run is not made of hardware cloth and covered.

Hi

Glad you could join us here! Yes I would close and lock your coop door and any nest box lids that you may have. I made the mistake of not doing this once when I was a new keeper and a fox got into my run and killed all my birds. Since then I've been very careful and always locked everything up.

Wishing you the very best of luck for the future and enjoy BYC

Welcome to BYC

Glad you joined us! X2 on the above advice. Many if not most predators only come out after dark and sleeping chickens is a very easy prey. Better safe than sorry!
