Set it, forget it, protect your flock effortlessly

Whether you’re setting up your first coop or finally upgrading from something that let you down, the Pro opens and closes reliably, protecting your flock from predators, the elements, and the one evening you forgot to check.

Fits most coops, whatever you've Got

Over 13 years our openers have been fitted to all kinds of coops, all over the world. Classic arks, walk-in runs, homemade builds and everything in between. If it's got a door, chances are the Pro will fit it.

The Setup Wizard That Makes It Genuinely Simple

The built-in setup wizard walks you through everything step by step. Most keepers are up and running before their kettle's boiled

One Blink of LED. All the Reassurance You Need.

The integrated safety light gives you instant visual confirmation that the door has closed properly. One quick glance from across the garden and you know your girls are in for the night.

Built for Britain's famously changeable weather

Wind, rain, frost and the kind of horizontal drizzle only a British autumn can produce. The ChickenGuard Pro is built to handle all of it, year after year, without skipping a beat.

The UK's Most Trusted Automatic Chicken Door...Now Even Better

Designed in Britain, refined over 13 years, and trusted by tens of thousands of chicken keepers. The ChickenGuard Pro isn’t just an automatic coop door, it’s the last one you’ll ever need to buy.

Trusted by 400,000+ chicken owners worldwide

Smart enough to stop, reverse, and protect

Our anti-crush tech keeps curious chickens safe every time the door closes by detecting objects in its path. Now with an added anti-crush bar which keeps any pressure felt before stopping to a minimum every time

Triple Powered. Fits any setup, anywhere

Whether your coop is next to a power socket or at the bottom of the garden, the Pro has you covered. Run it on AA batteries, connect it to a DC mains supply, or pair it with a solar panel for a completely off-grid setup

(DC charger / Solar Panel / Rechargeable batteries sold separately)

Mr
As with previous ones it was easy to set up and give security to my fowl. I hope it last a long time. My last one lost so many pixels from the screen after 4 years that it became unusable.

Can't fault their Aftersales service
So many companies just want to sell their product and then you are on your own - not so with Chickenguard, No matter when you purchased your item they are always there to answer questions and give advice.

Great but needs some tweeks needed
I love this and it really helps. Two tweeks would improve it. I got the automated version this time where it opens & closes with the light. Pm is great (70lux) but am with not open until it's at least 200 lux. So the door does not open on cloudy days. It should be 70 lux aswell. Secondly is door calibration. It tells you you can start moving the door up or down, but that is not accurate as the second option is always the same (I forget if it's up or down). So I often have to do this twice.

Best chicken gadget on the market
No more 6am early rises. Such a great idea. We set the timer through the year so the girls get maximum outdoor time. We always check on them at night and usually manually override the close. On the evenings we’re out it really does give peace of mind. Not a chicken lost to foxes etc since we’ve had it installed. The pro is our second one as the original was 6 yrs old.

Excellent product, does exactly what it says on the tin
In spite of UPS's best efforts we eventually got our door opener. It was very easy to set up and we are very happy with it.

Our third Chicken Guard
Excellent device. I hope the solar cell carries on working as it failed on our previous model.

Great unit
Bought 2 of these for our 2 chicken coops. They work really well pleased with them so far. Think the instruction manual could do with section 6 inserted (close) as included with section 5 in the enclosed manual. It meant we did not set close to what we wanted. The information was there on the website instructions though.

Auto door
I now have 4 of these openers, and I don’t know what I would do without them, I don’t have to worry about by chucks getting out in a morning or being shut in at night. And when I go away my neighbours don’t have to get up early just to let them out
