Grateful for advice please. We've recently started keeping chickens in the garden, and when we have the back door open they are inclined to wander into the kitchen. As a temporary measure we are using a barrier to keep them out - but we have to lift it out of the way every time we go in or out.
I would like to install a very lightweight gate to keep them out, and I would like this to be self-closing. I envisage a simple frame with chicken wire, about 2 feet tall and some sort of sprung loaded hinges. Can anyone recommend a hinge? I don't think it needs to be very powerful and the gate will need to open flat against the wall.
Thanks - any other tips/advice also appreciated.
