Which automatic chicken door is best?

[TLemon68]

Hello
Looking for automatic coop door recommendations. Any experience/input on models would be appreciated. We do not have electricity in our coop. Of course budget friendly is also a factor . We prefer not to make one. TIA!

All automatic doors are electric. Do you just mean one that doesn't have to be plugged into an outlet?

Yes

In that case, I like my Chickenguard doors. They are battery powered, so you don't have to plug them in, and they have all kinds of settings you can use so you can choose which opening and closing settings work best for you.

Love my ChickenGuard Extreme.

Dependable so far, a few months into it. Battery operated, search the forums for a discount code.

Auto Chicken door from Fleming Outdoors works on batteries & or electric. The advance model is great, as it opens & closes at sunrise & sunset according to your GPS coordinates. It automatically changes with the seasons. You can offset before or after sunrise/sunset times as you see fit. It also works on a timer if you so desire. Not cheap, but it is amazing!
