Animals actually don't give a rats ass about doors in this version. We used to have a tightly closed door feature but it was removed due to getting pets stuck behind doors lagging the game out.
♥♥♥♥ birds though, seriously. I can only recommend a marksdwarf guard tower to try and eliminate flying pests because they are wholly infuriating.

Also an important question: does your hen house actually have a roof. It may sound silly of me to ask though

[Ranger]

Yes it has a roof I just made it which is why I'm making this post because it's like I just made it right but apparently the Raven with his talon open the door with the door knob and proceeded to kill my chickens I was like oh my God animals in this game are ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ horrifying because of ravens can open doors we're talking giant weasels any type of giant animal which scares the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ out of me lol

doors are allways open for enemy unless you lock it with a linked lever best tip would be to put down some cage traps capture hostile critters now under general where you see all wild animals you can train the caged animsl after the are tame release them in your pen i had wardogs as guards for a long time in my pen until i made an underground pen with fllorfungus/moss ground after reaching cavern layers.

My very first little Fortress was terrorized by a Yak that must have run in through my front doors while being chased by a Hunter... "The Great Yak War" began around that time, too.

I think it got started by three kids terrorizing a Yak cow, since they're "kids" and they're little chaos spawn.... There were five Yak males out there, right beside her.

I sent the Attitude Adjuster Squad out to settle things, but the Hunter aggro'd or started hunting the other Yaks soon after.

Meanwhile, back at the Fortress, I was busy clicking rocks to mine...

Next thing i know, there's a slew of desperate messages in the que. I ignored it, because of course I did. "It's just the Hunter spamming his battle, meh," said I.

While staring at the exciting action of rock bashing in the lower levels, I clicked on the message spam and saw a bloodbath happening. I cruised the view to the top level and it was covered in blood... Yaks were battling Dorfs in the doorway to the full Hospital. ..Guess someone messed with the wrong Yak.

Yaks are serious business.

Unless the door is locked. Locked doors stop forgotten beasts and other building destroyers for me now. Tarn needs to fix this ASAP. Enjoy broken door mechanics in the meantime.

I don't know what it is but it seems that my dwarfs are obsessed with rotten food and keep claiming it then have been putting it in their bedroom

Well, that would be them claiming it, putting it in their bedroom and it then going rotten. A lot of food will rot after a while (maybe all? Don't remember) unless it's actively being kept in a food stockpile. Not super helpful though.

[Ranger]

How do I stop them from claiming the food

[malthenielsen]

For the henhouse, you can remove the door and only make it accessible by a staircase from below. Then the raven has to cross the entire fort to get in, and I don't think it can do that.

[Kraken]

Yeah, I just had a kea dive into my infinity pool on the roof of my tower, rip open my iron flood hatch, fly down the long flood prevention shaft, pop out of the empty overflow shaft in the hospital wing's koi pond, and attempt to poke the eyes out of my injured warriors. I was so confused about how a bird got into the hospital.

FBs not being able to break doors means its easy mode.. you had maybe 7-8 days before they would break it down (unless was artifact door) in Classic.

I'm also sure that Trolls used to be able to break bridges, if they could get to 1 tile below them.
