Once the sun rises, chickens naturally become active and ready to forage. Open the coop door after dawn to ensure their safety from nocturnal predators. Providing them with free range or a secure run allows them to exercise, forage, and exhibit natural behaviors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Chickens also tend to lay eggs in the morning and if they&rsquo;re kept in the coop for too long the eggs will get kicked around and will become dirty or broken.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Broken eggs will encourage egg eating which can lead to chickens pecking at and eating eggs as soon as they&rsquo;re laid if they get a taste for them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This will become more of an issue in summer when it becomes lighter much earlier than it does in the winter.  It&rsquo;s pretty unrealistic for most chicken owners to get up in the early hours to let chickens into the run. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The Omlet automatic coop door can be set to open either at a specific time of your choosing or by using the light sensor which will open the door when it becomes light. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>In the height of summer when the days are very long, it&rsquo;s better to use a timer to stop the door opening too early to prevent any risk from potential predators who may still be roaming around. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Closing the chicken coop when it gets dark<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>As soon as dusk comes and it starts to go dark chickens will instinctively move into the safety of the coop to roost for the night.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Once it goes dark chickens will stay in the coop because they can&rsquo;t see in the dark and they know it&rsquo;s unsafe for them to be outside. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have to work late or you&rsquo;re away for the night an automatic coop door can give you the peace of mind that your chickens will be safely closed up once it goes dark, without having to ask someone to come around to do it for you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The automatic door can be programmed to either close at a specific time or by using the light sensor option.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The light sensor option is great because the time chickens will go into roost will change as the weeks go by depending on the season.  For example, in December in the UK chickens will enter the coop at around 4:30 pm, but if the timer isn&rsquo;t set until 8:30 pm, the coop door would be open during four hours of roosting time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity is-style-wide\">\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How does the Omlet Autodoor work?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Omlet Autodoor is designed to neatly fit onto an Omlet Cube Coop and because it&rsquo;s universal <strong>it can also be fitted to any other type of coop which has a pop hole. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Autodoor is a sliding door with a timer and sensor which can be attached to the outside of the coop or run.  The door will safely close or open at a time of your choosing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although the Autodoor can be run from mains electricity via a plug, there&rsquo;s also an option to run it on AA batteries instead, which is perfect for coops where electricity isn&rsquo;t an option.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Find out more about the Omlet Cube Coop via the link below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.omlet.co.uk\/shop\/chicken_keeping\/eglu_cube\/?aid=SCHICKEN\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow external\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" class=\"wpel-icon-right\">Omlet Cube Chicken Coop<i class=\"wpel-icon dashicons-before dashicons-external\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><\/a>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity is-style-wide\">\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How can you fit the Autodoor to a wooden coop?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Installing an Omlet Autodoor to a traditional wooden coop is a great way to make a coop extra secure. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The door can be turned upside down so that it opens either way, from the left or right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most chicken coop pop holes are a similar size, so the Autodoor should fit onto pretty much any chicken wooden coop door. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>You also have the option to install the door into the inside of the coop if it doesn&rsquo;t fit well on the outside (see image on the left below). <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Find out more via the link below:<\/p><p><i>This article was first published on November 6, 2020 by Pentagon-Pets.<\/i><\/p>\n\n\n\n<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.omlet.co.uk\/shop\/chicken_keeping\/automatic_chicken_coop_door_opener\/?aid=SCHICKEN\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow external\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" class=\"wpel-icon-right\">Universal Automatic Chicken Coop Door<i class=\"wpel-icon dashicons-before dashicons-external\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><\/a>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.omlet.co.uk\/shop\/chicken_keeping\/automatic_chicken_coop_door_opener\/?aid=SCHICKEN%22&gt;Link&lt;\/a&gt;\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow external\" data-wpel-link=\"external\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/pentagonpets.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Image-of-the-Omlet-Autodoor-fitted-to-a-wooden-coop.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-736\" style=\"width:770px;height:427px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pentagonpets.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Image-of-the-Omlet-Autodoor-fitted-to-a-wooden-coop.jpg 900w, https:\/\/pentagonpets.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Image-of-the-Omlet-Autodoor-fitted-to-a-wooden-coop-300x167.jpg 300w, https:\/\/pentagonpets.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Image-of-the-Omlet-Autodoor-fitted-to-a-wooden-coop-768x427.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 760px) calc(100vw -
