Updated our coop and added double automatic pop doors:)

[tls_ranch]

We've been pretty busy over the last few days trying to finish updating the coop. DH and I have been working on this coop for about 3+ years a little bit here..a little bit there when we've had the time and hopefully we're done...for now LOL.
DH finished the automatic pop doors on both sides. Now the doors open and close on a timer

We also stained it to help protect the wood. Both doors work off the same motor and it's really easy to adjust the timer to the changing day length. We're waiting for a new solar charger to come to hook up to the battery.



Here's a link to how the autodoors work.

Pics of the coop newly stained It's a "double coop" that can house two flocks.

looks good. I like the stained fence to match too. I'm thinking of using a solar panel to hook up for lighting "just in case" it might be needed after dark, but haven't had the time to really price one that would be sufficient. I'd also like the automatic doors, but don't think that will be a possibility. I've already spent alot more than I should have and intended to.
