The Best Automatic Chicken Door Yet

I have had manual sliding doors, vertical automatic doors, and some really bad chicken doors. This is the best one I have found yet; it will keep my chickens safer by closing when it's dark if I can't be home in time. Let's get this installed and tested and show you how it works!

First thing I installed after the automatic door was a motion sensor camera so I can check on them from indoors. One night while we were on vacation I noticed a family of raccoons approaching the coop on a night where two of the hens got locked out of the coop (but were still within their fenced in area). Texted my neighbor at 11 pm and he ran over and chased off the raccoon family and saved the day! LOL

Love your dog runnning in the background at the 12 second mark. Typical black lab being a nutty black lab! 😊

Now you need CCTV to check on them from your house.

I have this door. The chickens get woodchips stuck in the rail at least once a week. Other than that its alright.

There's a YTube video with a WiFi / Bluetooth (smart home compatible) water valve opener that you can attach a dowel "arm" to that will open and close those drop-down, guillotine-doors (like his wooden one) nicely. I've ordered one to try myself ($32).

Howdy Todd! I like the design of this one. Great video. Do you think the chickens will mess with the cord in the coop? Guess if they were going to they would have by now... lol. Well done and thanks for sharing 🤠

Possibly I did go back and zip tie it up better though

Got one a few months ago. the track keeps clogging. either going to have to modify it or try something else

I figured that would be an issue. If his guillotine door (G-door) was sticking, zero percent chance of keeping that tiny plastic slit clear. Would have been smarter (and cheaper) to improve the G-door and automate with something. There's a YTube video with a WiFi / Bluetooth (smart home compatible) water valve opener that you can attach a dowel "arm" to that will open and close those G-doors nicely.

Good job. All our chickens live in the trees, im not sure why they go into thier homes there. Too cold maybe? Safer and natural up the trees so fine by me :)

No racoons, owls, or opossums near you? My small place is CRAWLING with all three (plus redtail hawks for daytime in-tree peril).

Is this door mouse proof? I have so much trouble with mice getting around my horizontally sliding popholes.

@SSLFamilyDad 3 ай бұрын

I would think so

@Truthandlight77 3 ай бұрын

Now they just need a proper set of stairs and a light to show them the door.

@737smartin 5 күн бұрын

They only NEED those things if they show they NEED those things. No need to "fix" something that's not a problem!

I have this door. Its functionality with opening and closing based on the sun is a grate idea. But… having the doors closed sideways instead of up and down like a garage door means that there is a track at the bottom that the doors run on. This track gets clogged every night from the chickens tracking in debris and you have to go out with a screwdriver to clean it out every night. NOT FUN! I’am getting rid of this door.

@SSLFamilyDad Ай бұрын

You need to leave a gap under the door frame so that things just fall through. I have had this for months with not one clog

Might depend on the fineness of your coop litter. ??? There's a YTube video with a WiFi / Bluetooth (smart home compatible) water valve opener that you can attach a dowel "arm" to that will open and close the drop-down, guillotine doors. I've ordered one to try myself ($32).
