You could fix up an automatic from inside as the wall is deep so should shelter the door like a porch

I would shut him in at night to protect him from predators. Can you put up a perch for him?

Will you ever want to keep something in? Or keep something out? Then the answer is yes.

havent seen any on the property but that dont mean there not here. daylight hours the dogs keep guard a door it is for the night thanks

P.S. im awake before he crows anyways lol

hes free to roam as he likes i was worried about the weather. i dont think nothing can get to harm him

Do you have foxes, badgers or weasels? If you do, which I am assuming you will, you do need a door to lock him in at night, they can dig under the pen....an automatic door is a good investment so you don’t have to be up At the crack of dawn or at night to open and close, get. A timed one then you can alter the timer and it won’t shut in dark grey days

You don't need a door because of the weather. We have a similar brick coop and It's open 24/7.
