Spent $150 on an automatic chicken door and it nearly got my whole flock killed
I bought one of those timer-based automatic chicken doors off Amazon thinking it would save me from waking up at dawn. First night it worked fine, but on the third night the timer glitched and the door stayed open until 2am. I woke up to feathers everywhere and two of my hens missing, luckily the rest hid in the coop. Has anyone else had bad luck with these automatic doors, or is there a brand that actually works?

Nope, hard pass on those things. My buddy's got one that works but he still checks it every night.

Had a buddy spend big money on one of those too. His door got stuck halfway down with a hen underneath it. Poor bird was stuck there all night. He went back to manual doors after that.
