you can get something to open the door for you!
Wow i had no idea. Where do you get them?
Mind you we have a sliding door on the hen house so it probably wouldn't work. But it will be handy to know if we decide to upgrade the hen house.

Where can I found out more about these automatic doors?
Are they easy to fit to an exsisting coop?

Automatic doors????  tut tut
There's nothing nicer than going out in the pooring rain, with a gale blowing around, holes in your wellies letting all the water in, and a chicken so pleased to see you that they almost take your head off with excitement :wacko:
 :lol:

I don't have an eglu but I do have a door opener - swear by it!  It's light sensitive but you can get a timer and adapt it.  It slides the door upwards in the morning and back down at night.  Only had a chicken locked out a couple of times when they were new.

One of the companies that sell them can be found from this link:

http://www.flytesofancy.co.uk/chickenhouses/VSB_Pophole_Door_Opener.html#aVSBbi

or here

LINK

I have no connection to the company but thoroughly recomend the door openers with a timer rather than the light sensor. On a really dull day they are slightly tempremental on the daylight sensor.

 8) um! A door that the chickens can 'nudge' open sounds al lot cheaper than the auto kind :D
 I really was drawn to the eglu as it looks so easy to clean without having to clamber inside.
I have since found another one called the lenham 504 or 505 by forsham, very pricey like the eglu but comes apart in simular way so easy to clean.
Does anyone own one, is it 'as good as it looks'?
I am finding that my youngest, a welsummer called maggie is sleeping in the poo tray under the perch at the moment, yuck :tongue2: so searching for design that will not allow this.. she also keeps pooing in the nesting box ???

That's why an automatic door opener makes it easier to persuade your friends to look after your chooks when you go away :D
