I love your funny videos. I will never have an automatic chicken coop door (I can't afford it, and couldn't install it if someone gave it to me), but I watched the whole video just to see the chickens, you and Uncle smiling.
Love..love my Omelet auto door...it goes sideways vs up and down. Doesn't matter what brand...the auto door is a game changer for those of us that works nights..
Lost my flock recently from an unknown predator, got a new flock and an automatic door for the chicken shack..I can sleep a lot better now. Thanks for the tips!
Did it cross your mind at all when you put your palm in the PooPoo to wipe it up, no? AHahahahaha! YAY 🙌🎉🎇 🐦 Just want to tell you that everyone likes my Hat , your hat. I have the Orange one for when I walk. It's been dark at 4:30 😝. Anyway lots of compliments 👍 Nice job on the Chicken Door for now LOL! JO JO IN VT 💕😄
We just were talking about getting one of these for the new year! For the evening timer does it close at dark or dusk? Wondering if it would close before our ducks get in. 🤔
I have been watching your guys videos for about a year and love them . If its not too personal to ask how did you guys come about your homestead ? Do you guys farm full time ? Do you have a job and farm part time ? What price did you pay for your land and home ? I always dream about just quitting my job and farm full time but the reality is that I can not afford it . I have kids that depend on me for medical insurance and I have no other way to make my house payment without my job . If my questions are to personal and cant be answered I apologize .

@@AztecWarrior69_69 merry Christmas, I usually keep about 10 hens but recently we moved in to our newly built house and only have three at the time. Once we are settled in established, I will probably go back to about 10.
@MrSlone3302 Not sure if you know how to follow conversations but I was NOT referring to how many chickens. The conversation is about automatic coop doors. You asked the person "how many auto door have they had"
Unfortunately it can if the chicken isn’t aware of what’s going on or is laying near the door, I know a farmer who lost chickens to one of these doors because they were half in/ half out! I thought about using this door but after I heard that story I’ve been too nervous to bother
@@kyradelaney3076 I call BS. Those cheap lightweight doors on strings are way too light to cause a chicken any damage. Hell I say why even put one when they are so easily lifted.
#ASKHOMESTEADY Neese Argon , asked below, if the Chicken walks halfway through when the door is closing does the Chicken get Decapitated, I answered, but I think they wanted YOU to answer , LOL
So, if a chicken just happens to be going in at the same time that the sensors activate the opening, does the chichen get decapitated?
No, it has a sensor so that no chicken's are harmed :)
True! No decapatations, and it lowers quite slowly so Chicken would feel the pressure and run inside ;)
Bwahahaha!
@@Homesteadyshow still just ha to ask lol
What about predators? I've heard that raccoons are very smart. Can't they just lift the door and enter at will?

We have a Omlet but I am willing to look at other options. Great video.

So nice!!!
I KNEW IT !! As soon as I saw the simple install, I said, that ain't gonna be so simple for him I bet, gotta see this, hahaaa

"Ladies First" is the way to go👍
Been looking around and thinking about these, or DIY (which seems overwhelming) thank you for covering it so well.
My coop door doesn’t get evening sun. Do you think it will close too early for my chickens?
Did it cross your mind at all when you put your palm in the PooPoo to wipe it up, no? AHahahahaha!
YAY 🙌🎉🎇 🐦

Diameter of the line?....can use nylon or braid line?.thanks
Light sensor would be unusable where I live. I got 2-3 months of midnight sun every summer. Can you turn off the light sensor and program this?
Can the door be pushed up manually after it goes down? Or is it locked down? Have you had any chickens not get in ontime?
You can lift the metal doors manually, and adjust the closing time if you like. I have not had any problems with birds not getting in 👍

Get the advanced version, you can set an opening and closing time instead of the light metering function
Are you still happy with the brinsea a year later? Did it stop working at all?
My goats broke it 😡 but Brinsea sent me a repair part, I just need to fix it

This is an inclusive community, right? We can all learn from each others mistakes. (Lets face it, we'll make our own mistakes!)
No editing, we need to learn from your mistakes
dinner or a door yep lmao
to tie that door, a follow-thru figure 8 would be the best IMO.
The Guillotine of auto chicken doors! Bwahahahaha!
no how many automated cdoores have you worked with? they move slow, and on gravity.
@@MrSlone3302 How many have you?

I currently have 3
A couple of questions:
1. What if all of the chickens haven’t gone in yet?
2. Will it crush a chicken if it’s going in and the door comes down on it?
Unfortunately it can if the chicken isn’t aware of what’s going on or is laying near the door, I know a farmer who lost chickens to one of these doors because they were half in/ half out! I thought about using this door but after I heard that story I’ve been too nervous to bother
