Got here today and didn't see any chickens, my heart sank. I get out of the truck and walk over to the coop.... the pop door is closed, there are 5 girls in the coop, something hunkered down in the corner of the poop board and the pop door is closed! It is 3pm so clearly it has been closed all day, which means that CAT in the corner has been in there since at least yesterday. Guess it is time to charge the battery! Good news is all the girls are back. I guess I need to go back to my diary thread and see when I put in the pop door so I know how long the battery will last and change it BEFORE it holds everyone hostage. They got a few hours of range time and I just manually closed the door, sans cat. I'll charge the battery overnight and mark on the calendar when it needs to change next.
I still need to figure out how to keep them in our yard but i'm glad they are back and I have eggs for breakfast in the am.
