Hi, newbie here, we are building our coop currently and putting our door under the coop floor. This door would slide to the right to open and left to close. I am attempting to find a solution to ensure we can have a automatic door on this. Everything I have seen so far offers only gulatine doors. I saw where some are using a deer feeder, how would this work and would we need additional items such as the add a motor? I am attempting to keep it as cheap as possible. We live in a neighborhood, the coop will be inside of a dog pen/run but we are sectioning off a area solely for the chickens. This way any dog or other animal would have to breach 2 areas to access our chickens. But to ensure their safety and happiness my husband feels a automatic door is necessary. We like to sleep in lol. Anyways thanks for any tips.
