My Dog And The Rat Snake

[The Real Hawkeye]

I do the same. My 6 girls spend the day in my fenced in orchard... a bit over an acre. At dusk they come into their run, where I give them some scratch and then they head into their coop for the night. I have a motor on a timer controlling their coop door, so they get locked in at night, even if I am not home yet.

Sweet! I've been thinking about an automated door system for a while now.
