That's the reason we wanted to invest in an automatic coop door. Having a friend check in on our chickens once a day is good, but asking them to devote early mornings AND just after dark visits to open and close the coop is just too much to ask of a friend.

I figured it was probably the battery so I replaced it with a new one. It wouldn't open more than 2-3" on several mornings in a row, but it would close at night. Right about 1 year after installing the first door it suddenly stopped working properly.
