Automatic chicken door opener

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.
