The feeder is awesome I never knew that existed! Currently trying to post pictures to see how a tunnel or coop door could be rigged up. I appreciate y'all's help, maybe with some brainstorming with y'all I can figure this out.

I just don't have neighbors that would do that. I've tried. I think posting pictures of my set ups would explain why I don't think a coop door would work. I have tried just opening the door and not corralling them and they all just stand in the yard staring until I started herding them.

15 outside and 13 chicks 2 months to one week inside in 2 brooder pens. Trying to figure out how to automate the coop door as the only access is a shed door that's like a true barn door. We prop it open and I corral them in and out then shut it to keep predators and bugs/rodents out. I have...

Thank you. I've looked for help but surprisingly no one around here knows anyone or is willing to help. I even tried rover.com and other sites and they wanted $200/day because they charge by the # of chickens as if they were dogs or cats. I appreciate your response and I will see about redoing...

I have hatched several chicks from my silkie rooster and his ladies. If I have pictures of moms and dad along with the chicks, is it possible to sex them? Some are 3 weeks old and some are 1 day old. This is for fun of course because many have homes and I'm planning on keeping the other Chicks...

Thank you! That's my pride and joy! Just hatched 8 of his babies and they are adorable like him!

Oh I believe it! My two silkie mixed bantams keep on schedule like they're collecting a paycheck with their broodiness 😂

Thank you! The silkie on your profile pic is so freaking cute!
