Hurricane Preparedness

[kreagerm]

My chickens usually close their coop door on their own at bedtime - I think it is weird, but they do it. Should I plan to open the door in the am - in case there are breaks in the rain/wind so they can run around in their enclosed run or just let them "camp" indoors. Most "regular rainy" days, the coop door is open to the run- but wondering with the expected wind if I should plan differently. I'm in MA, near the cape - inland a bit, so not worried about flooding. This is our first year with chickens, so I appreciate any guidance - thanks!

This is what I was wondering as well. More then likely I'll be at work when it hits Maryland, and I usually open the pop door in the morning before work. Not sure if they are smart enough to go into the coop to avoid the wind and rain, thoughts? I'm boarding up their windows now, to be safe from any flying debris.
