- In this video I cover the unboxing, setting up and use of the Farmlite Automatic Chicken Door.
Follow along to see what hurdles were overcome and multiple ways of powering this device.
I appreciate you spending time with me and allowing me to entertain you. I learned a lot with this install and hopefully this can help you with your purchase choice.

Mitch with FarmLite
Great addition to the chicken tractor.
It is nice, kinda “extra” as my wife would say, but definitely nice
The door I recommend to my friends is the Hen Hut Automatic door. It uses high quality materials, simple, reliable, and only 65 dollars. I bought 2 for my coops and have had zero problems even through a pretty harsh winter. Farmlite is decent but I'd definetly recommend the Hen Hut to people wanting an affordable and reliable door.
I would agree when it comes to price. I would like to say that I did not buy this “new” it was from Facebook Marketplace and I got it for a steal ($10). I was however very impressed with the quality and legibility of the instructions- even someone who is not “handy” could work with this equipment. I still have never had any issues. Thanks for watching!

Good job Michael!
Thank you Sir!
Do you still like it. I am looking to buy one.
I really enjoy it. Of course it’s a luxury item that no one “needs” but it does let the ladies out and shut them up every day.
God Bless
So the tiny screwdriver is for adjusting the infrared sensor.
Yeah, kinda threw that away first thing haha
is the door still working good?thinking of buying this product
The door is working great, but I would recommend you fastening the cables for the solar panel really well. Chickens try to destroy everything. Haha
Install it sideways
You know what? That would be a nice experiment.
Have you installed it sideways....what was the difference?
@@MizRuthie I didn’t as it works amazing vertically.
Chickens be playing limbo
I own this and it killed a chicken. This product has the absolute worst programming instructions ever. The first four modes are self explanatory, but mods 5-8 don't make sense. Mode 5 is says that is to turn the timer on or off, yet you set the opening and closing times for steps 2 and 3. Then mode 6 says that it turns on or off the light control, yet mode 7 says the EXACT same thing. Also, if I have the light sensor turned on and the timer turned on, does one take precedence? I still don't understand what happened exactly, but we went out in the morning and found a dead chicken laying in the doorway with a clearly broken neck..so yeah would not recommend this brand.
It seems that this exact same door is mass produced with different company names. Mine says Huabor on the top, and instruction booklet is different from the one you show in the video, however the door and control panels and features are EXACTLY the same.
Im sorry for your loss
