Most of the time we don’t mind going to the chicken house to open the pop hole door in the morning and then close it again in the evening. But I have to admit there are the odd days when it would be nice to have a lie in and not worry about. I started to look at the automatic door openers that are availsblr and too be honest I thought they seemed quite expensive for what they are.
After a little searching on the internet I came accross “Chris and Keri’s blog” which showed a nice simple design for an opener. All the others I had seen beforehand did not really go into enough detail of actualy how to build the opener.
I will have a go and let you know how I get on, I am hoping to add a solar panel as I have no mains available at the chicken house.
