Description
Automatic Chicken Coop Door Opener with Light Sensor and Anti Pinch Stop
-
No more manual door duty at dawn and dusk: a light sensor opens and closes this automatic chicken door on its own each day
-
A trapped chicken won't get hurt: the anti-pinch stop detects a bird under the door and halts before it closes
-
No power run to the coop needed: it runs on batteries, so it works wherever the coop sits
-
Predators won't get an easy way in overnight: the door closes reliably to keep out foxes, martens and other nighttime visitors
-
Set it your way: switch between the light sensor or the manual button whenever you'd rather open or close it yourself
Opening and closing the coop door at exactly sunrise and sunset every day gets old fast, especially if a late night means the door doesn't open until the chickens are already restless. This automatic chicken door reads the light itself and opens or closes on cue, or you can trigger it by hand from the control unit. A chicken standing under the door won't get caught — the emergency stop senses it and halts first.
It runs on three AA batteries (not included), so there's no wiring needed even without a power connection nearby. The plastic sliding door closes reliably against nocturnal predators like foxes and martens, and the unit is built in black and brown plastic sized 13.8 x 9.4 x 1.5 in (35 x 24 x 3.7 cm) to mount onto your own coop opening — the coop itself is not included. Check that no chicken is standing in the doorway before a close and supervise the first few cycles.
