Rooster’s big booty

My handsome rooster has made a habit of settling in the doorframe of our Eglu coop at night. His big booty blocks the automatic door from closing. I’ve been going out to scootch him in, then close the door manually. But he’s stubborn, it’s a pain and. he didn’t use to do this!

Has anyone experienced a problem like this? I’d love to get back to our old way of life when they go to bed reliably and independently and most importantly, safely! Thank you.
