    Review: Battery powered chicken door! (A+)

    Guys, my life has been changed forever. I have had the Run-Chicken battery operated chicken pop door for about 3 weeks now and I am in love. I do not have electricity running to the coop, so I have never had a great cheap option for an automated pop door before. This one is flawless and...

    Automatic door - Solar power

    Hi everyone. I have a chickenguard Extreme door and have been burning through batteries now that it’s cold out. We are looking at trying to set up solar for it as changing batteries is a pain. Does anyone have an experience and recommendations on equipment to do this? Thanks!

    Automatic Chicken Doors

    I am looking to purchase an automatic coop door. I have the Ador 1 but it has stopped working. I don't want to replace the parts to fix it, I just want to go ahead and purchase a different door. I have come across a few doors that I really like. I am really leaning towards purchasing the omlet...

    Automatic door and predators

    Little background: I've automated my coop door and lights, to close and go off at sunset and open and go on at sunrise. I use half an hour offset, but I am in the city so little worries for predators. Fast forward: I am a regular at a farm close to the city, between the city and the woods. The...

    Hi All! We recently purchased a deluxe coop from a company in Lancaster, PA. One of the features I was most excited about was the SmartCoop automatic door. When we kept chickens some years ago in a coop I built, it was a challenge to make sure that the roost box door was closed on Winter...

    Auto Duck/Chicken Door - Best ones for the $$

    My ducks are super spoiled and my husband thinks I'm nuts for not wanting to leave them for a day. They have a very nice house that is heated and has electricity, nice size etc. Their door is operated by myself at night to lock them up in evenings after they put themselves to bed. I',d really...

    Omlet door - fantastic

    We finally bought Omlet’s automatic sliding door. It fits to Omlet and other wooden hen houses as well as wire. It took a few days to get the light mode sensor fully calibrated. It works really well so I no longer have to get up at first light to open up the roost. Approx 15 to 20 minutes...

    Bugs Beware; there are chickens in the garden moat

    While I have been planning on getting chickens for several years, we finally decided this was the year. The plan all along was to use the chickens to try and keep the bugs out of the garden beds.

    Chicken door size

    We’re in the process of building our coop and it’s time to install the chicken door. We bought one from amazon that is automatic. The instructions asked for a hole that was 9-1/2” tall but once it’s all put together it will only open 5-1/2”. The chickens will really have to bend down to get out...

    Chickengaurd automatic door and raccoons

    I got the Chickengaurd door last May. I've been very happy with not having to open and close the door every day, --and so are my chickens-- but, I've been a bit uneasy ever since, because it does not appear to be raccoon proof. I have looked off and on for the past year to find something...

    I have chickens, ducks and geese and they are all housed together in an enclosed run at night. I would really like to get an automatic door opener but am not sure if the geese and ducks would go into the run by themselves at night. Every night when I go out to put them away the ducks and geese...
