Richard Posted November 16, 2007 Share Posted November 16, 2007 I leave the door open. No probs for my girls they take themselves to bed and get up in the morning. Makes me wonder why I close it when I'm at home! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Olly Posted November 17, 2007 Share Posted November 17, 2007 Welcome to the forum elpolloloco, what a great name! There are strong debates on here about door open/door closed, but as far as I know "Ooops, word censored!"ody has reported a chicken dying of cold, at least not in the UK! It was a deal-breaker for me when I first got chickens, because I knew I would sometimes have to work away from home and leave them overnight - I was assured that they would be fine, and they are. Like Richard though, I close it when I'm at home, just because I feel guilty otherwise! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
