Automatic Chicken Door - Opened Punctually Every Day
An automatic chicken door is a real asset for every poultry keeper. It saves you the hassle of getting up early in the morning and ensures in the evening that your animals sleep safely behind locked doors. As soon as dusk falls, the flap closes reliably, giving foxes, martens, or raccoons no chance. Your animals can go outside with the first rays of the sun in the morning while you can sleep in or drive to work with peace of mind.
Control According to Your Wishes
Most automatic doors can be adjusted very flexibly. The most popular method is control via an integrated light sensor. It measures the brightness and opens or closes the door completely naturally according to the position of the sun. Alternatively, you can use a timer on many devices to set fixed opening and closing times – ideal if a street light could irritate the sensor or you want to protect your neighbors from early crowing on weekends.
Easy Installation on the Coop
Installation is easily manageable even for laymen. The electronics sit well protected in the housing, which is simply screwed over the opening of the coop. Since many models run on standard batteries, you are completely independent of a power socket at the coop.
FAQ - Automatic Chicken Doors
Can an animal get trapped in the door?
No, modern automatic chicken doors have a safety stop. If the motor feels resistance while closing (for example, because a chicken is passing through the door at that exact moment), it stops immediately. The door moves up a bit and tries again shortly afterward.
Do large breeds also fit through the flap?
Yes, most standard flaps are perfectly suitable for normal-sized chickens and bantams. For particularly large breeds or ducks, there are special, wider, and higher sliders that can be operated with the same motor.
Does the system work in winter during frost?
The control units and motors are designed for outdoor use and are very cold-resistant. It is only important that the guide rails of the slider remain clean. Keep them free of ice during severe frost so that the door can always slide smoothly.
