AUTO CHICKEN COOP DOOR
I don't have chickens yet, but I think when I build my chicken coop I will use a 24vdc satellite dish mover (linear actuator). They can be found on Ebay and on old c band satellite dishes in the back yards of houses. The actuators already have the in and out limit switches and all you would need is a battery or power supply with a photo eye or photo transistor connected to a relay. A programmable irrigation timer would give better control over the photo eye.

do it yourself automatic chicken coop door opener
I like the idea and would really like some detailed pictures when you take this plunge. I've got one of those in the barn someone gave me last year but have not tinkered with it.
