My automatic chicken door timer failed and locked my hens out all night
Came home from a weekend trip to find all 5 of my girls huddled under the coop in the dark. The timer on my auto door glitched and never opened in the morning. Temps dropped to 38 degrees that night in Portland. Lucky they all made it but one had some frostbite on her comb. Switched to a basic photo sensor door now. Anyone know if these sensors hold up better in rain vs the timer models?

38 degrees isn't cold enough to justify ditching a timer that probably just needs a battery change.

Think it's more about principle than temperature honestly.
