Why You Should Automate Your Chicken Coop (And Save Your Sanity)

September 05, 20243 min read

Let’s face it: raising chickens is amazing. Fresh eggs, hours of free chicken TV, and the occasional chicken cuddle are all part of the idealistic homesteading dream we all share.

But... and it’s a big "but"... manually running to the coop every morning and evening can make you feel more like a full-time chicken butler than a homesteader. Don’t get us wrong—we love our chickens—but sometimes you just want to sip your coffee without worrying about opening the coop door at dawn or refilling waterers mid-afternoon.

That’s where automation swoops in to save the day (and your sanity).

1. Mornings Are Yours Again

Picture this: You wake up, pour yourself a cup of mushroom coffee, and relax into your morning without sprinting to the coop to let the chickens out. With an automated door, your birds are free to roam at sunrise, and you’re free to sleep in or do whatever you please. No more early-morning mad dash in your slippers!

2. Your Chickens Stay Safe Even When You’re Not Around

How many times have you worried about forgetting to lock up the coop at night? Or worse, remembered just as you're getting into bed, forcing you to trudge outside with a flashlight in hand? An automatic door takes care of that for you, ensuring that your flock is safe from predators like foxes, raccoons, and whatever else might be lurking out there.

3. No More Watering Headaches

Have you ever walked out to the coop only to realize the waterers are bone dry (and your chickens are not impressed)? An automatic watering system means fresh water is always available for your birds, even if you forget. Whether you’re running errands, stuck at work, or just too busy enjoying your day, your chickens will stay hydrated without you needing to constantly monitor their water supply.

4. Feed Refills? We've Got a System for That

Imagine not having to refill the feeders every single day. Yes, it’s a thing. An automatic feeder ensures your chickens get fed on time, every time, and lets you skip the daily feed routine. You get more time to focus on other important homestead projects (or, you know, binge-watch that show you’ve been meaning to catch up on).

5. Reclaim Your Time and Energy

At the heart of it all, automating your coop is about giving you back your time and energy. You didn’t sign up for homesteading to feel overwhelmed by the daily grind—so why not use technology to lighten the load? Automation helps you take better care of your flock with less effort, allowing you to enjoy the process more, focus on other homestead adventures, or simply relax.

Ready to Level Up Your Coop?

If you’re ready to stop being a full-time chicken butler and start taking control of your time, it’s time to automate your coop. We’ve put together a Coop Automation Guide that lists out all the exact products we’ve tested and used in our own coop. From automatic doors to watering systems, these tried-and-true automations will help you take better care of your flock—and yourself.
