our chickens came to get us!! they were locked out

[Shiloh Acres]

I've had the coop door blow closed and I don't like the idea of them not having access. I give some feed and water outside but the main ones are in the coop.

I keep a big 4x4 "doorstop" near the coop door and use it to brace the door open when they are freeranging. It quickly becomes a habit so no more worries about them being accidentally locked out.

Mine would roost in the trees if I did that. They wouldn't mind an excuse to fly up there LOL.

That sounds good Shiloh, we have hook eyes to keep our doors open, I think this was just absent mindedness on my part or my 9 year olds.
