Automatic chicken coop door bedtime interval
What makes this automatic chicken coop door opener special is the
additional option of having a light come on for 4 hours after the door
closes to keep hens laying in the winter.
It's also the one with the
most proven track record. Johan and Barbara have had it going since 1998!,
which tells me their method of having the door close 45 minutes after
dusk is a good benchmark for the rest of us trying to figure out that
bedtime interval.
Our automatic
chicken coop door opener
made it through the winter with no problems and is still going strong.
We got our door from a nice
guy named Jeremy at automaticchickencoopdoor.com. He's got a helpful section to
his website that highlights several automatic chicken coop door
installations his customers have completed.
