Keeping Chickens and their benefits to the garden

Well the bird would be stuck out but you can set it to close up to 15 min after nightfall and my birds are always in the coop a good 30 minutes before that. I’m more interested in the opening in the morning aspect, I can’t always get to work super early to let them out. I’ll definitely watch it work for a few nights before I trust it. It gets very cold where I live so I will be there in the evening during the winter months to make sure it’s closed up. You can also set it on a delay for opening so it’s not open first thing in the morning on winter days. If I have to much issue with winter operation I might just rely on it for the summer months when the days are long and I’m super busy.
