open/closed multiple times

What exactly does this mean?
Multiple times a day?
Give an example of what you want.

I want to be able to set open/close multiple times. I want to train the Muscovy duck and force them to back into the coop for food and safety at night. This is an idea that I want to see if it would works.

Example:
8:00Am open - let's the duck out for water in the pond and find their own food on the yard
8:15Am close - keep them out of the coop
7:00pm open - let's them back into the coop for food/water. There will be a bell/sound when the door open to get their attention.
7:05pm close - keep them safe at night without worry about predator.

Sounds like a bad idea.
What if your duck didn't leave the coop in that 15min window and is then stuck inside all day? Or what if it needed to retreat to the coop for a security reason in the middle of the day and the door is now closed to them? Then there's the short 5min window they have to enter the coop at night before they're locked out...

Yeah that's not reaslistic in my opinion. There are doors with timers though, but if you find any that let you do this I personally would advise against it.

I have a run cover the coop so wouldn't be a problem. As far as the open/close time, can be adjust to see fit. I was the one who built threader feeder and attached to the coop years ago and workout just fine. The chicken and duck can be train when call for food, etc...
