We were saddened to find so many people suffering from such a simple need of clean drinking water. We drilled 11 drinking wells in villages and now the children there have a well reaching 350 ft deep to provide the cleanest water possible, which is unheard of in this part of the world. Automatic Chicken Coop Door also dug an irrigation well for this area because the land surrounding the orphanage was a sandy soil and crops could only be grown for no more than a few months out of the year and farmers were forced to leave their families to find work so they could feed them.
Automatic Chicken Coop Door personally went of our own expense to India to ensure that every dollar of the money was spent to drill wells in the villages that needed it most. We also have a large tie to humanitarian efforts in India. Last year we donated over $12,000.00 to help build an orphanage and drill clean water wells in West Bengal India (about 15% of sales). The door is super easy to install, in fact, it took us longer to find the drill than it did to set up the door. This 30 minute window ensures that all the stragglers have returned before the door shuts them securely in for the night. So we set ours to open about 30 minutes after the sun comes up, and 30 minutes after the sun goes down.Ĭhickens instinctively return to the coop as the sun starts to set. The door can be set with a timer to open and close at specific times.

That’s why I was so excited to install this amazing Automatic Chicken Coop Door. We have some wonderful neighbors who will check our coop if we need them to, but what if they’re not home, and I hate to be a bother. Traffic jams, long lines at the grocery store, being held up at work or school…these are all a part of the life of a chicken keeper. Sometimes, even with the best intentions, we’ve tried to get home in time to lock the chickens in, but emergencies happen. But I always feel bad because I know how much they enjoy roaming the yard.
We used to keep the chickens locked up for the day if we knew we wouldn’t be home until after dark. It gets dark by 5:00 here in Michigan, many people aren’t even home from work by then. This can really interfere with after-work, after-school activities. The door has been rigorously tested in extreme conditions down to -4 degrees fahrenheit. The weather-proof casing of the Autodoor and the control panel ensures the electronics, motor, and gear are safe from the elements. One of the hard parts about being a chicken keeper in the winter is the need to put the chickens away at such an early time. The Poulty Butler is an automated chicken coop door that you can program to close and open at specific times in order to protect your chickens from. The Omlet automatic chicken door has been engineered to work reliably and dependably through the harshest of conditions. Chickens are all but blind at night so their ability to escape danger once the sun goes down is pretty much non-existent. The days are getting shorter and as a result, the chickens need to be secured in their coop earlier and earlier to be safe from nocturnal predators.
