Our automatic coop door controller is highly energy efficient, permitting operation by using energy from the sun.

Solar Operation: Connecting a solar panel allows for Coop Door operation without AC electricity. A solar panel combined with the 5 Amp-hour solar-backup battery will operate your coop door without AC electricity. 

The solar panel will provide power even in low-light situations until full sunlight is available.  Three to four hours of sunlight per day is sufficient to charge and maintain the battery during solar door operation.

An AC to DC power converter is built into our coop door controllers which converts your AC electricity to DC voltage.  The AC power consumption is highly efficient at 1 Watt. DC power consumption is less than 50 milliAmps at 12 volts DC.

All solar equipped bundles can also be operated with standard household AC electricity.

The type of poultry which roosts in your coop can determine the size opening required. Below is a chart which will help to determine the best opening size for your flock. Refer to the chart provided to ensure you select the correct opening size based on the type of poultry in your flock.

Protect your investment:

Whether you are raising poultry for eggs or meat, there are costs involved.  On average, it costs up to $25 per month to raise one chicken. Annualized, this becomes up to $300 to raise and feed one chicken for one year.  If you feed your poultry organically, then your costs could be even higher.

If a nighttime predator should happen to get to your flock while they are roosting, losing a single chicken has a negative financial impact.

Forgetting or neglecting to close the coop door just one night will provide an open invitation to the night-time predators around your coop.

Coop Tender® automatic chicken door easily pays for itself by keeping all of your poultry safely locked in the coop each night.

Coop Tender® always remembers to open and close your coop door - keeping your poultry investment safe and secure.

Safe, Happy Hens - without the hassle:

Imagine collecting free-range chicken eggs or raising free-range poultry for meat without the need to open and close the coop door every day.

Coop Tender® automatic coop doors can be installed in almost any chicken coop.

Simple installation:  1) Cut rectangular cutout. 2) Slide door into cutout and secure with 4 screws.

Anyone who raises free-range chickens knows the challenges of predators, especially at night when your hens are roosting.

• Have you ever forgotten to close the coop door at night? 
• Have you ever wanted to sleep just a little bit longer before heading out to open the coop door, especially on those rainy or cold winter mornings? 
• Wouldn't it be nice to visit with neighbors, friends and family a little longer, knowing your hens are safe with the coop door closed?
• Stuck in traffic on your way home and it's getting dark?  Coop Tender® will close your coop for you.

Most importantly, Coop Tender® is Predator Proof.  Have peace of mind knowing that your hens are safe at night. The automatic chicken door mechanism cannot be opened by raccoons, cougars, bobcats, mink, coyotes, opossums, skunks or any other nighttime predator. Bears can't even open the coop door!

Predators are the #1 cause of free-range chicken mortality. A recent study by the University of Minnesota shows that nearly 80% of all cause-specific losses of chickens are directly related to predators 1. That’s more than diseases, external parasites and mismanagement. Anyone who has lost chickens to predators can tell you how emotional it is, especially if you hatched and raised the chicks yourself.  You certainly develop a bond with them.

Coop Tender uses a 5/8 inch solid steel Acme threaded screw drive mechanism which is attached directly to the door similar to a screw driven garage door.  When the door is closed, nothing can open it.

Imagine safe, happy hens with no need to open and close the chicken door each day!  Your hens will be happy and will love you even more...  They will be out at dawn when the choicest insects, bugs and worms are out.  Your chickens would love to be the “early bird”. At the end of the day, after returning to the coop to roost, your hens will feel safe because Coop Tender is keeping the predators out.

You'll have more time to do the things that you want:

• Spend more quality time with friends, family and neighbors
• Continue working on that special project
• Take a vacation

...all with peace of mind that your chickens are safely closed in the coop at night.
