I was skeptical of automatic chicken coop doors until I forgot to close mine one night

Last Tuesday I came home late from work and realized I'd left the coop door open all night. Woke up at 5am to check and found all four hens safe, but a raccoon had been sniffing around the run. That was enough for me. I ordered an Omlet auto door with a light sensor for $129 and now I sleep better knowing the girls are locked up tight. Has anyone else had a close call like that?

Oh man, I read a story somewhere about a guy who lost three hens to a fox because he forgot one time. That stuck with me. My neighbor lost a whole flock to a mink last spring. She forgot to lock up just once too. These automatic doors are a game changer honestly. I don't trust myself to remember every single night.

Dude, same. I lost five barred rocks last fall because I got home late from work one night and just crashed without checking on them. Automatic door paid for itself in the first month, lmao.
