How a simple chicken coop door opener became a huge project The door and opener. I have hens. A decent amount of hens. And one thing you have to do when you have hens is secure them at night. Most people will agree that chicken is tasty, and most predators share that opinion. So a big hen house full of tasty birds is a tempting target for any number of raccoons, foxes, cats, opossums, and more. When we first got hens, we kept them in a small coop we ordered online. It wasn't particularly well...
