Auto Coop Door options

[Garagedude]

Does anyone make a auto door that opens and closes several times until the chicks setting under the door decide to move. I have to go outside and get them in so I can manually close the door which kind of kills the auto door idea which I'm getting tired of doing. Any ideas? The door I have now only stops and retracts up once then comes down and sets on the chicken. It stays in that position.

I don't have an answer for you, but I propose entering this as Court's Evidence #4,387 in the case of Chickens vs. Humans.

Well, I guess this has happened a bunch then.

Maybe not this specifically, but it does seem to be yet another example of how chickens can foil our best-laid plans.

I’ll get out of the way for people with more experience in automatic coop door openers.
