    Do automatic coop doors freeze?

    I'm going to pick up an automatic door, I haven't selected one yet. But I live in New England and I'm wondering if ice buildup on the door tracks is an issue for anyone. Thoughts on whether spraying it with something like wd-40 would help prevent that?

It ended up being a bit of a mission but we love the result...

    Chicken House Door vs. Run Chicken Door Buyer Beware

    Plenty of threads on here about the Run Chicken door which appears to actually work and be worthwhile. I accidentally bought a "Chicken House Door" from this website wondertelaripoff and it is a piece of junk. Didn't work out of the box. I realize after looking at the website that they are using...

    Just lost our little red hen

    We found our hen 30 feet from the coop dead with no visible wounds. What would cause this? I also have an automatic door that closes 20 minutes after sunset. The door was broken- so we think she was crushed? And moved 30 feet? Is that possible? We did find blood by door. A small amount. Door is...

    I need reviews on automatic coop door openers. We do have power to the coop so plugin ones are an option.

    Chicken door size

    We’re in the process of building our coop and it’s time to install the chicken door. We bought one from amazon that is automatic. The instructions asked for a hole that was 9-1/2” tall but once it’s all put together it will only open 5-1/2”. The chickens will really have to bend down to get out...
