    The Automatic string door I never wanted to make but Now I love.

    OverEZ Automatic Door Options

    Does anyone have any recommendations for automatic doors (aside from the one that OverEZ sells) for the pop door on an OverEZ coop? The one or two that’s I’ve tried are not wide enough to attach to the relatively large pop door on an OverEZ coop. Thanks!

    Ok so I'm not asking for help, I am asking for opinion. Maybe suggestions and/or requests. Things along the lines of what you would want added. Like photocell operated. However I have a different setup for that so I would have to post a new thread for that one. So besides painting it what do...

    Why do my chickens seem so interested in the inside of my house?

    Over the course of the multiple years I’ve had chickens, they’ve always had a fascination with looking inside my house’s windows and into the house. I let my chickens free range most of the time and they often stand or sit down right outside of the door. Do they just like being on the porch or...

    From basic to chicken palace...??

    Chicken palace no. I just need automatic coop door, automatic waterer (maybe with a float), diy automatic feeder... Maybe a camera to make sure everything is OK. I had to have surgery a few months ago and doing chores meant me nagging older kids to help out, just to free up time and to make the...

    $10 upcycled pallet run and PVC door with neither glue nor metal hinges

    I've learned so much here, I figure its time I share something in case it helps someone else. So FWIW here you go.... I decided to build a run just until winter but being temporary I didn't want to spend money. The small city backyard has a decent slope running diagonally from the back...

    Auto Duck/Chicken Door - Best ones for the $$

    My ducks are super spoiled and my husband thinks I'm nuts for not wanting to leave them for a day. They have a very nice house that is heated and has electricity, nice size etc. Their door is operated by myself at night to lock them up in evenings after they put themselves to bed. I',d really...

    Automatic Coop Door?

    Hi, I'm trying to decide on an automatic coop door. I was thinking of the Poultry Butler or Ador1 or the Pullet-shut chicken door company https://chickendoors.com/ . I love the wifi option on the Coop Tender but I read somewhere that it closes too fast and some chickens have died after...

    Options for pop door- what works best? What about a cutout covered with a cloth?

    Would it work out to just put a cloth over the hole and the chickens push their way through it?

    Stupid question - how big for a chicken door

    I searched, but failed. What is best size for the chicken door in a home built coop? One chicken at a time or better with double doors? I did finalize on a sliding door. What do you prefer and why? The automated doors intrigued me is the reason I went sliding. Cheers,

    EMT Run Design Questions

    Has anyone used EMT Electrical conduit for a run frame? I'm on a budget and will soon be walling in our prefab coop/run into a coop only, raising it off the ground and building a separate run. I had seen PVC used, but I was wondering if EMT would be stronger and more durable in the long run...
