Morning Cluck Automatic Coop Door — Solar Powered
Morning Cluck Automatic Coop Door — Solar Powered
The door that shows up at dusk, every dusk — so you don't have to.
Most coop raids happen at night, through a door somebody forgot to close. The Morning Cluck Automatic Coop Door closes itself at sundown and opens at first light, powered by the sun. No wiring, no app required, no 6 AM walk to the coop in January.

How it protects your flock
- Closes automatically at dusk — light sensor mode tracks the actual sunset, not a clock. Raccoons, foxes, and weasels meet a locked door.
- Anti-pinch protection — if a slow hen is still in the doorway, the door stops and reopens.
- Opens at dawn — your flock heads out on time; you drink your coffee inside.

Honest answers to fair questions
When will it ship? Within 1–3 business days of your order, from Humboldt, Iowa. We email tracking the moment it leaves. This batch is nearly gone; if we sell out, this page will say so along with the restock date.
Can it close on one of my hens? The door has anti-pinch protection — if something is in the doorway when it closes, it stops and reopens. We test this on every unit before it ships.
What about a week of cloudy days? The 2,000 mAh battery runs up to 60 days on a full charge, and there's USB backup charging for the darkest stretch of winter.
Will it survive winter? The housing is aluminum alloy and waterproof, built for year-round outdoor use. We're based in Humboldt, Iowa — we know exactly what January does to equipment, and we test in it.
Will it fit my coop? The door opening is 9.25" wide × 11.25" high — room for your largest hen — and the unit mounts to any flat wooden wall with the included screws. Unsure about your setup? Email us your coop opening measurements, and we'll tell you straight.
What if it arrives and I just don't like it? Send it back within 60 days of delivery for a full refund. We can offer that because we don't expect you to need it.
