I do not shut my hen door at night, but again as previous post stated, it depends if there are predators in your area. When I first move new hens from the brooder to the coop, I keep them locked in for the first 3 days. This will help them accept the new coops as home, rather than finding a tree to roost in.Are you suppose to close the door to the coop at night thats connected to the closed in run?
