I honestly highly recommend Omlet’s automatic door. Fox might have finally gotten his buffet. There are always those days when we’re running late and might not to our chickens before dusk … but if you’ve got an automatic door, there’s no need to worry that Mr. However, now I have one, I honestly think the cost is worthwhile, both for safeguarding your poultry and your lay-ins. BUT, it’ll still let them out in the mornings.Ĭost - Here’s the nasty one the Omlet Automatic Chicken Door isn’t cheap. For ducks that won’t go to bed … you’ll have to continue putting them away I’m afraid. Turns out my ducks and geese just prefer to sleep outside and await the fox. Not for use with Ducks - I only say this because ducks ( and other waterfowl) are pretty stupid at going to bed, in the fact that, they don’t! I was always worried about leaving the night timer on and allowing the door to close automatically for fear the chickens would’ve gone to bed and the ducks wouldn’t have. There’s also a handy digital display that shows the battery life so you can refresh batteries when needed. They’re highly adaptable and will fit most coops, especially with the additional wire attachment options.īattery Operation - If you don’t have mains near your coop, these doors are ideal as they’re battery operated.
Just a note - it doesn’t have a sensor to stop it mid-track, it’ll close all the way, touch the chicken ( or your hand) and then open again.Īdaptable - Initially I thought the Omlet doors could only be used on Omlet coops. No trapped chickens - the door has a soft-close safety catch so that if your little hoppy hen sticks her neck through the opening at the last minute, the door will not remain closed but will re-open without injury.

So it came as a relief to find that the Omlet Automatic Chicken door is simple to install and comes with a thorough manual so you can get it right first time. It’s easy to install - I might have a lot of poultry knowledge but I’m not good when it comes to DIY. This is pretty much a must if you’ve got chickens who like to poop on everything. It’s super easy to clean - the plastic is washable and completely clean-easy.
