christyrose12 Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 Does any who has the cube and run leave the door open at night? Are they ever worried about foxes? Do you leave the door open all year round or just in the summer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mullethunter Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 Hi christyrose12 - there's a thread about this from a couple of months back - summary is a lot of people do leave the door open Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lewis Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 Sounds like you're sorted but we're pretty confident the runs are secure so ours are left open all year round Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SueChick Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 Hi - I leave mine open only in spring and autumn. In the summer dawn is too early and they started getting clucky at 5 am! Poor neighbors. In the winter I like to keep them all cosy so I shut them in. Hope this helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PixieDust Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 As a moot point, has there been a thread that discusses the frequency of chooks taken by a fox from pens with coop doors left open? Interesting topic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SueChick Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 My coop directly accesses an omlet WIR so I don't need to worry about horrible Mr Fox (thank God) when they are inside the run - I am guessing that the other people who leave their doors open have a similarly safe set up for the early morning.
