So I'm looking more intently at auto coop doors. Thing is I have no idea which one is right for me. Looking for the best at the best price(I know I'm cheap). I'm not super crafty to fashion my own honestly...I've looked into the idea and I can't wrap my head around making one.
So im asking the community, which one is the best at the best price? I live in northern ny where our "average" winter temps are anywhere between 25 and 32 for a high and 0-15 for a low with some days and nights with wind chill reaching as low as -20 to -40. So needless to say battery isn't exactly a idea that's off the table but also makes me uneasy in case of charge failure or mechanism failure because of the extreme temps. I do not have power ran to the coop nor do I think I can bury wire to run electrical to it with the amount of bedrock on my property.
Needless to say...im in a pickle. Also I have no damn clue which one is the best choice. Like the idea mostly for late home arrivals or a short stretch of out of town excursions(couple days).
