Pros: great forager with self preservation instincts - never far from cover, always stays close to other chickens
Cons: none - provided you know they are ornamental game fowl.
the cockerels are stunning, and are in command as flock leaders. Mine being raised in a bachelor group, but access to pullets and full flock during ranging activities. Very impressed with the breed.
Installed the Ador1 for in 10 minutes. Plugged in the battery and tested it a few times. Left it open and came back at sunset to see how it worked.
Found the door closed, but 6 of my 10 week old pullets "roosting" on the ramp outside the coop in the secure run. Pushed the button, the door opened and I pushed the pullets inside.
The next morning, opened at sunrise and the pullets filed out. The second night - all of them were inside when the door shut. And every night since. No problems, no issues. Works every time. 3 months with no issues.
