I hope the winners door opener works better than mine. I bout the heavy duty one to withstand the cold of Canadian winters like their website bosted. It was working ok other than having to recalibrate it every two weeks ish. I went on holiday for a week (I got the door so I didn't have to worry about my girls safety) and came home to 32 heritage birds dead.
The door failed, a Martin got in and ripped them to pieces. The electronics were all scrambled. I emailed chicken guard and they were nice enough to send me a new opener but i haven't installed it I'm to nervous. Instead I made a Fort Knox of enclosures that no predator can get through, under or over.
And I'm still waiting for $400 of new chickens to start laying.

My chicken cottage, a constant work in progress....

Nice build! I can certainly understand the difficulty of building on sloping ground. I have split level enclosures for some of my pheasant pens. Good Luck!
