Stop Losing Chickens to Preventable Predator Attacks

Every chicken owner knows the heartbreak: walking to your coop in the morning to discover your favorite hen is gone. Predators cause 80% of backyard chicken losses - and it usually happens because someone forgot to close the coop door just one time.

The Coop Tender Difference: Engineered for Real-World Threats

Most automatic doors use cables and pulleys that predators can defeat. Raccoons have opposable thumbs and problem-solving intelligence. They will figure out how to open cable-driven doors.

Our steel worm drive creates a physical lock that cannot be forced open by any predator - not raccoons, foxes, coyotes, or even bears. When the motor stops, the door is mechanically locked in position.

Professional-Grade Features That Protect Your Investment

🔒 Predator-Proof Steel Worm Drive

Problem: Cable systems fail when predators pull, twist, or chew components
Solution: Solid 5/8" steel Acme threaded drive physically locks door closed
Benefit: Your chickens stay safe even against the most determined predators

🌐 Universal WiFi Control - No Apps Required

Problem: Proprietary apps become obsolete, leaving you locked out
Solution: Browser-based control works on any device, anywhere in the world
Benefit: Check on your flock from vacation, work, or anywhere with internet

☀️ Solar + Electric Power Options

Problem: Power outages leave automatic doors non-functional
Solution: Solar panels + battery backup provide unlimited operation
Benefit: Works reliably even during storms or extended power outages

🧠 Intelligent Freeze Protection

Problem: Chickens freeze to death when doors malfunction in winter
Solution: Programmable temperature monitoring keeps doors closed during dangerous cold
Benefit: Your flock stays warm and safe during harsh winter conditions

Frequently Asked Questions

How predator-proof are automatic chicken doors?

Coop Tender doors with steel worm drives are mechanically impossible for predators to open. The self-locking drive system means raccoons, foxes, coyotes, and even bears cannot force the door open once it's closed.

Do I need internet for the door to work?

No - the door operates automatically using light sensors or programmed schedules without internet. WiFi connectivity is optional and adds remote monitoring and control capabilities.

How difficult is installation?

Basic installation takes 2-4 hours for DIY enthusiasts. We also offer professional installation in most areas for customers who prefer expert setup and testing.

What happens if the power goes out?

Battery backup systems provide 5+ days of operation during power outages. Solar-powered systems operate indefinitely without grid electricity.

Can the door handle harsh winters?

Yes - Coop Tender doors operate reliably from -20°F to 185°F. Freeze protection features keep doors closed during dangerously cold weather to protect your flock.

What size door do I need for my chickens?

Standard 10"×10" works for most flocks. Large breeds benefit from 15"×15" sizing. Our sizing guide above helps you choose, or call our experts for personalized recommendations.

How long do Coop Tender doors last?

With proper maintenance, our steel worm drive systems typically operate reliably for 5-10 years. Many customers report 10+ years of operation with occasional maintenance.

Game Changer!!! This door and all the accessories were expertly designed and worth every penny. The installation was easy and setup was a breeze. My chickens needed zero training. I have the door set to open at dawn and close 30 minutes after sunset. Works flawlessly every single time.

Well designed and well built. - This is a high quality item. It is well thought out, including for diverse situations, and easily installed. The wooden door and frame are excellently fabricated. The auger (instead of gravity/cable) is dependable, and electronics are really thorough. Don’t be afraid of the menu/options. All choices are confirmed by a cycling review. Excellent and speedy tech support. I recommend incl. battery back-up.

Amazing Chicken Door, Best Around. This is our second purchase of the automatic chicken coop door and we are just as happy as we were with the first one. We love these doors and the customer service is amazing. The quality of the door is better than we have seen in others and the "extras" that you can add is far more than any other company offers.

Works well and easy to install. Very happy with the purchase as the door works very well, was easy to install, and is fairly easy to operate. Worth spending the extra money relative to cheaper alternatives. I didn’t realize nice an automatic door would be. The extra money spent for a reliable product is worth the peace of mind.

Highly recommend - The CoopTender is a very well built door and does everything I could want. I have tested many different scenarios and it has worked flawlessly. The main reason that I bought it was for the wifi feature for times we need to be away from the Homestead and that alone is worth it.
