During late autumn and winter darker months, I drop the bob-hole closed once it is dark because they are always inside by then. It is opened on the way to work in the morning at around 0600-0630hrs. At weekends during winter months it is opened at around 0800hr.
Can I ask the reason why you shut the door in winter... Is it because food is harder to find for foxes or because of the temp changes?Just wondered as it's my first winter with the hens down on the plot and I was wondering if I should do the same!
