For the last bit of finishing off with the new hen house, I put on an extra bit of roofing, the roof from the old garden shed, to protect where they come up the ramp to the automatic door. We are due some fairly heavy rain tonight and Tuesday and hopefully everything will stay dry, the overhead shelter is right at the side of the house now so it gives them a place to be outside that is fairly dry. The door seems to be working well, I don’t even have to check them anymore in the mornings and evenings. I moved one of the WiFi cameras inside the hen house so I can see the chickens either in the nest box or on the perch. I can even zoom in to check for eggs all while sitting at my desk. The camera can also swivel around to see outside into the yard.
