- Keeping Muscovy Ducks and Chickens Safe and the Homesteaders Happy by Installing a Chickcozy Automatic Coop Door
This is a game changer on my homestead!
I now have peace of mind, knowing I am prepared
Installing the Chickcozy Automatic Coop Door was so easy. I am extremely happy with this investment, it's potentially a life saver and I have more flexibility running the homestead while my poultry are safe from predators.
Even my Drake, Mr Smokey Greyson uses it, and he is a big boy.

I LOVE THIS DOOR and so do MY Birds.
It looks really good, I need one too 😊
HI, Elissa, I'm so happy that you have that door. You're right, it is a game changer. Your birds are beautiful. I hope you are doing well. Have a great week.
Thankyou so much Hoot, it’s lovely to have you visit my channel and to know you’re still holler’in 🦉👋🏽
That door is so good Elissa. And the birds seem to love it too. Great investment for your homestead xx Cathi xx 😘
It really is Cathi, I feel like I have hired a homestead helper. 💕
G'day Elissa, The auto chicken door is a great idea. I have one of my Muscovy ducks sitting on eggs atm can't wait to have ducklings around again. God bless you.🦘👍
Hey Josh, how wonderfully exciting! I look forward to seeing your ducklings when they arrive. Many Blessings.
I bought an automatic coop door for my chickens and it’s
a great item for securing my birds. I think it’s great. It’s got many opening and closing settings that can be selected. I’ve had it for two years and I love it. It really simplifies my day. Thanks for posting your video!
Thanks for sharing your experience with automatic doors, @alphastarcar, I am absolutely loving mine too. I didn’t even know they existed!
Always nice to see you here,
Elissa 😃

I bought a different brand a few years ago which was great until I went out to my chickens one day and they were still locked inside. This brand had a cord which pulled the door open and it had broken, fixed it, but it happened again. I realised a rat had probably eaten through it so I haven’t used it since. Love the idea of the chicken cozy as it is all internal.
Thanks for sharing!
Great investment. Have my desk and desktop. Still need a foot pedal. First had to get more Winter gear as we're supposed to have a bad one this year. Got some long-sleeve, ankle-length Bohemian-style dresses and two Winter Coats since I purged my last one. The wool one has a polyester lining so can only wear it when I wear long-sleeves. The oilskin one has a cotton flannel lining so I can wear it with short-sleeves. I get a rash from wearing polyester for too long.
Sounds great Jean, I’m glad you’ve got your winter clothes organised.
I have a question which may sound silly, but can muscovy withstand cold weathers? My 1 year old muscovy just got transfered to the chicken coop and she used to stay inside the house most of the time. The weather has been getting cold and I was wondering if there's something I can do to keep her cozy outside? I'd really appreciate it!
Hello @littleanna2406 when you say cold, what sort of temperatures do you have?
Muscovy Ducks have twice the feathers as chickens, maybe more. I have warm, dry hay or straw in the sleep area and coop and they are protected from winds. My weather goes down to -6C / 21F and they don’t seem to notice at all.
@MoatCottage I think the lowest we get is maybe -5 degrees in Fahrenheit. But if you're saying muscovies are good beyond that then whew that's a relief. I was so concerned for my lil duck but thank you for the reply!
There are wild Muscovies living in cold places like Michigan US & in Canada along parts of the Thames river. Despite originating in the tropical regions, they are very adaptable birds. Keep an eye on your duck to see if it’s doing well when it’s really cold there.
Do you still recommend this door? Are you happy with it?
Yes I do. It is really helping my birds and I. I’m still on my first batteries and I even wet it with the pressure washer, when cleaning the coop and no issues.
Yes (I responded in my other account)
Great product idea. I use car power window mechanisms for such projects. Ex mechanic, so i have bits, but the wreckers will sell you a small 12v car battery and some parts, especially if you pull them off yourself... if they let you...
Then some cheap solar. You can add a heap of different uses... electric door lock solenoids to drop feed or open a gate. Use the power windows to open and close things. Power led lighting. Small but high volume water pumps. All cheap ebay items.
Fantastic inspiration! It’s handy having mechanical skills, living a homesteading life.
Yes ‘if they let you’ I used to go down to the tip, weekly, to get scrap metal treasure, for whatever project I was working on. They’ve put a stop to that recently, which is disappointing.
@@MoatCottage insurance...time... but its sad because you want to re purpose something directly, which bypasses the need to transport, process, melt, reform, and transport again, etc. So it's not true recycling, only what cannot be directly re purposed should be recycled.
As a welder fabricator, I often used larger pieces from the scrap yard. Odd shapes can be extremely helpful to find, as they are difficult and time consuming to fabricate. Now its all just sent off without the opportunity to use it as is.
Love your channel. Stay well 🙂
I totally agree! Thanks for your comment
