The feeder is awesome I never knew that existed!
Currently trying to post pictures to see how a tunnel or coop door could be rigged up. I appreciate y'all's help, maybe with some brainstorming with y'all I can figure this out.
I just don't have neighbors that would do that. I've tried.
I think posting pictures of my set ups would explain why I don't think a coop door would work. I have tried just opening the door and not corralling them and they all just stand in the yard staring until I started herding them.
15 outside and 13 chicks 2 months to one week inside in 2 brooder pens.
Trying to figure out how to automate the coop door as the only access is a shed door that's like a true barn door. We prop it open and I corral them in and out then shut it to keep predators and bugs/rodents out.

Thank you. I've looked for help but surprisingly no one around here knows anyone or is willing to help. I even tried rover.com and other sites and they wanted $200/day because they charge by the # of chickens as if they were dogs or cats. I appreciate your response and I will see about redoing...

I currently have 15 adults and 13 chicks.
I absolutely love my chickens. They live relatively safe and easy lives. We converted a workshop with power into a huge coop for them. We have 2 runs which means every morning and night we have to herd them into the coop from the runs and vice versa. They don't free range without me being...
Yes I know they're difficult I just hoped with some having a blue bantam Andalusian mom and some having banded moms, sexing would be a little easier. Thank you for looking thought ☺️ it's been fun to just to hatch and watch em grow regardless of gender.
I have hatched several chicks from my silkie rooster and his ladies. If I have pictures of moms and dad along with the chicks, is it possible to sex them? Some are 3 weeks old and some are 1 day old. This is for fun of course because many have homes and I'm planning on keeping the other Chicks...

(1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens?

(2) How many chickens do you have right now?
Gosh that's a trick question lol I have 15 grown chickens and 7 day old chicks I just hatched! I also have 2...
