Was thinking the same but we are now both home all day.

The human door to their hen house has an actual keyed lock on it. The human door to their enclosed coop does not. But I don’t think anyone can fit through the chicken sized door in between.

And our 80lb dog is alert to noises all night. He sleeps in our bedroom; the coop is visible outside the windows along one side.

So mostly I’ve decided not to worry.

And I’m totally up for baby chicks this year- if my main broody hen goes broody. I enjoyed raising day old chicks last year but I’d rather she take on the work this year. Wilco has baby chicks all summer so I should be able to tuck some under her one night.

I’ll be ready for more eggs next year. Might run out of perch space tho.
