Just built a new coop. We don't intend to have any roosters (fingers crossed). 15 hens, 10x8 coop space inside with food, water, roosting bars, and nesting boxes. Door to outside run is channel set and ready for auto door, but we are going to try it on our own at first. Coop attaches to enclosed, covered run (8x8), but we did not bury the fence, so I do not consider it predator proof at night.
Question: Can our girls stay in each morning until about 7:30 a.m. or 8:00 a.m.? That is just the realistic time that our family goes out to start morning chores.
I worry about being gone at dusk as well, but we are usually home.
