I have experienced this can have bad consequences. The female can be startled and on her run damage the eggs. It is better to search for a good lock. Kikes are verry inventive to open it.

Hi guys this can turn out to be a bad habit. A couple of years ago i had a eastern rosella hen do the same thing. The problem was she tried to get out this door and got her head court. Luckly i found her close to death hanging by her neck and released her. After a day in the hosptial she came good but this can be dangerous. I now have a little nail in the swing doors so they can't be opened. Cheers Kevin

We use a boot shaped nesting box...the top of the boot opens.
No latch..just a big rock weighs it down
