Thank you guys, I did find a bluetooth outlet that would have worked fine, but for her I decided to just get the Pullet Shut door with light sensors. It's going to be much less hands on for her to keep her birds safe. We've had our drapery motor set up for over ten years...

It is a drapery motor, so power on: open, power off. Power on: close, power off. I need it to go four timer per day. A system like yours sounds like it could work great for their situation, can you tell me more about it or link it?

I hope so, it's just such a big bird and a different shape than all the rest. Either way I think it's going to be beautiful.

These feathers are coming in awfully pretty. This has to be a rooster!

Thanks! I hope they chime in, this one seems to have everyone stumped.

Looks like it to me, pullet, cockerel

I will, thanks!

I have been thinking the same thing. This bird is so much bigger than my others and has big shoulders. It looks rooster shaped to me. I'm thinking about caponizing, so I need to be sure!
