Without wishing to be unpleasant, I'd say that chicken coop might give people some wrong ideas.

I'd recommend anyone considering home chicken keeping to look at proper chicken keepers' web sites before making any decisions on housing.

You could start with this one which contains links to other useful sites:

I missed that! :rotfl:

Who, exactly, do you think you're talking to?

Have you tried 'automated chicken coop door' in the search function?
It struggled to cope with two words last time I used it.

Also consider simpler solutions, like running a small rope from the house to the coop so you can open it remotely. Building a battery/solar-powered door that works reliably will be harder than it looks.

How rude are you?

Even when you use the search function it isn't always that easy to find what you're looking for.
