I am not sure about sockets, but would prefer solar, then battery and lastly electric in case the coop was far from an outlet.

I PREFER SOLAR FIRST BECAUSE YOU DON'T ALWAYS HAVE A PLACE TO PLUG IN AND CHARGE. I DO NOT LIKE THE IDEA OF BATTERIES BECAUSE THEY WON'T LAST VERY LONG

I prefer solar powered to save the enviorment and the cost of electricity.

Option "A": No current socket installation and the use of solor with a batter backup would be the optimal use of power for the door.

I would prefer solar power for something that will be outside. I don’t have electrical there. Is that a map of Slovenia?

I chose option A because I prefer solar. It is better for the environment and it also saves money.

Solar makes it wireless which is nice. Just worry about it not opening one day due to dead batteries.

Solar would be my go to, optoin A, option b with electric next if planned properly, option c would make me pause if i would want to replace batteries.

i like solar because it is cordless and i do not have to replace batteries.

A looks upscale, C is simple to understand and B is too plain

Given where my chicken coop would be solar would be by far the easiest to use. Battery would be next, I ranked electric plug-in last as I won't have a clear way to get that installed.

I would prefer solar because you don't have to do anything. No batteries to change or power outlet to worry about. If I had an outlet close my second choice would be B but if I had no outlet I would have to go with C but batteries are expensive and they do not last long so I would really dislike that option.

No electric out there. I would really like solar, however with the option of a battery backup in case enough energy is not available

I don't have a chicken coop, but I think I'd prefer the solar panel best to get around potentially not having a socket

I like solar the best I feel it would save on electricity and keep me from having to buy a battery and put in an electric plug, I would buy this one

If I'm getting an automatic door, I want it to be no maintenance.

I do not have a chicken coop but if I did there probably would not be sockets. I would prefer the solar powered one because of not having to supply a power source. I like the ease of use for the solar powered one.

option A the solar power supply method is one I would prefer first and then option B and then the following would be option C

A first, I always buy solar if possible, it saves money and maintenance. B second, I would rather run a power cord and plug it in than buy batteries. C last, I avoid anything that takes batteries, it wastes money.

I think must chicken coop don't have power nearby so a solar panel is the best solution. Batteries always ran out of power at the most inconvenient time.

i feel like the one with solar would be the most efficient and i think that it would be the best option. i do think that having a battery backup would probably be a good thing as well just in case there are some gloomy days and the solar doesnt charge enough. i dont like the plug idea much cause i would be scared the chickens would bite it or peck it and they would get electrocuted.

No sockets in my small coop. I like the solar.

I don't have a chicken coop currently but if I did I would choose A because solar would save money in the long run and I wouldn't have to worry about power outages. B would be my next choice because I would not want to have to change batteries regularly.

I prefer Option A because I love the idea of using sunlight and renewable energy to power things. Since the chicken coop is likely outside, gathering enough sunlight shouldn't be an issue; even on cloudy days. Option C was my second pick because it isn't reliant on an outlet power source to work, which gives me freedom. Option B was my last pick because it requires a wall outlet and also one has to take weather-proofing into consideration.

I am a poultry farmer, and I would never use anything electrical within our livestock structures, as it is such a fire hazard. I would choose solar over battery only because it is more environmentally friendly, and probably safer for the birds due to less chemicals involved.

I'd want solar power. It seems more "set and forget". Option B is fine too but more expensive longterm. Option C would be the most hassling and expensive.

Choice A gives me the ability to not ever have to change battery and rely on clean energy.

I would choose A because of solar in case an electrical outlet wasn't available.

I prefer solar because it does less damage to the environment for the automatic chicken coop.

Solar. I would cost me nothing to operate the power on the chicken coop.

I prefer solar because I don't have to worry about changing batteries or having it plugged in. Most people don't have an outlet near their chicken coop.

I prefer solar option A- my coops aren't set up for electrical cord- not safe for me or my chickens. My coops could work off batteries as an alternative Option C but this would be good choice with rechargeable batteries. My last choice would be option B the corded alternative; two of my coops are moveable to a electrical outlet in a workshop- this is not my favorite choice. I would like to say that I like the ability to choose between the different types of power as everyone has different needs for their coops. The manufacturer wins many kudus/points for making choices available.

I don't have chickens but solar with battery backup seems most efficient. A lot of people would not have a coop close enough to use cords.

I would definetly love to use the solar option. That would help cut down on costs.

I would choose the solar powered door first because it would be the easiest to maintain.

I think the solar one would be the least that you'd have to worry about power for, the others you would have to check constantly

I do not have a chicken coop, but if I did, I definitely would prefer the solar choice--no cords to keep up with. I hate having to replace batteries. They seem to need replacing way too often, and I never know what to do with the old batteries, so they don't end up in a landfill.

I like Solar for use. It free and easy to set up and use.

no i do not have sockets in my coop door , ,option a would be the best option as you wouldnt have to worry about batteries running out or having to run electricity out to your coop option c is the next best as just replacing the batteries is easier than having to run a cord out to you coopoption b isnt really something that i have the leasiure to have to my coop as it is so far from any electriicty i would have to run alot of cord to get it there

Solar would make everything easier. If not solar available, i would want a plug. Battery seems very unreliable.

It isn't, but I would prefer solar. Seems like a good idea.

solar is the best. I want to reduce my footprint. Then the plug in because it is easiest. And batteries are annoying

We would prefer solar powered as our electricity is limited.

I like that charger looking thing on the first one and the batteries last

I prefer A as solar is great and the least expensive. It would be the option I would choose.

I picked A because the battery source is a solar panel.

Solar would work best for a chicken coop and it is low maintenance. The others are too much work in making sure the batteries are charged or full and the unit is plugged in

I didn't know these even existed since I'm a suburban girl, BUT I do own a small farm where the tenant who lives there has about 30 chickens. That said, I know she has to make very early morning and evening walks out to the barn/coop even in inclement weather to let them in/out. So something like this I will be looking into. From a power perspective, I think the solar would be the most practical since it would require very minimal wiring. Depending on how close existing electrical supply is to where the door would be located/installed, that would be my second preference. Batteries are, in general, a pain to deal with since they never seem to last as long as one would like, and naturally when they fail the chances of having extras on hand are iffy.

mine is not. i think solar powered is the best way to go. it can work while being far away from an outlet and i don't have to keep buying batteries or use electricity.

Solar powered is my first choice! I love my solar powered ring cameras- They work well even in winter. Plug in would be the next choice and lastly I would never chose battery! I hate batteries for stuff lol

I really like anything that is solar because that isn't going to use my power to run. Anything battery operated is great as well but then you have to be able to get the batteries for when it dies. Solar is the way to go.

There's a part of me that would love to have some chickens. If I had them and a coop, this sort of product would be so helpful to help protect them and take some pressure off of me. I'd be most apt to go with solar as that's such a green option that wouldn't add anything to my electric bill. I'd only need to worry when there's been consecutively cloudy days.

I chose A solar, because it would be cheaper and easier to use for outdoors

Solar would be the most convenient if it was reliable. Otherwise plugged in would be the best

Our chicken coop is located far from our house and not near an outlet so solar power that didn't require changing batteries would be my preferred option. I would worry about having to change batteries often.

I do not have an outlet so the solar one is a great option.

My coop does not have power sockets. So I prefer solar power.

I didn't like Option B, because of the power chord. Using a power chord is just a hassle. I thought Option C, was better, but I'd still have to change the batteries, once in awhile, when I could be doing something else, productive. So, I prefer Option A, because once it is set-up, I don't have to keep messing with it. I can just forget about it. Very convenient.

My personal preference is the solar option as the most practical and energy-efficient power supply method for my automatic chicken coop door. I chose this option due to several advantages, including cost-effectiveness, reliability, and eco-friendliness. What I find most important is the flexibility in terms of placement, as it doesn't require an electrical outlet and can provide a backup power source in case of a power outage.My second preference is the battery-powered option, which also offers flexibility in terms of placement. Modern batteries are durable, rechargeable, and can last for an extended period of time, making them a reliable and cost-effective choice if solar power is not available.Lastly, the Power Supply Cord is not ideal for me and is the least preferred option due to its limited flexibility in placement and potential safety hazards associated with exposed cords and outlets. Overall, I concluded that both Solar and Battery options provide practical and efficient solutions for powering an automatic chicken coop door, with Solar being my top number 1 choice due to its many benefits.

A solar would be best because you wouldn't have to worry about electric or batteries going dead. B next because you wouldn't have to worry about the batteries going dead and you forgetting to replace them. C if no other choice.

A would be most affordable and practical. C would be okay but could get expensive with batteries. B may be hard to plug up outside without difficulty plus weather exposure to the outlet.

I have no electric with chicken coop would be nice to be solar so I dont have to change batteries

I chose option A because it is the most sustainable type of power source out of the three.

The solar one is the best and likely works the longest, not needing a battery change. I don't have an easy to reach plug in socket but I guess I could run an extension cord.

I chose option A first for a chicken door because I think a solar-powered door makes the most sense if the coop is far from any electrical outlets. Option C is ranked similarly because batteries would be another great option for long-distance power to a chicken coop door. Option B is last because it would only work as a plug in if it was close to a power source.

No, no power there. solar would be long-term cheaper than battery or power. Power would be more dependable than batteries.

Since I didn't have sockets on my coop, I'd want a solar or battery powered door so I wouldn't have to run electricity across the yard.

I lke choice A because i feel it makes the tablet look more 'high tech' and more modernized.

Solar would be most eco friendly and less have to worry about for powering.

I would opt for A or solar first. Next is battery then electricity.

I think Solar power would be the most excellent way of powering the door, but with the option of battery backup. I don't have a way of powering my coop electronically, so this would be the best way.

I prefer the clean energy option. Next, power is preferred from the ac. I hate changing batteries.

A-solar power would be my choice because it uses less energy

I would want the most reliable energy source which is standard AC. This way I know that the door will open as expected without fear of some power issue.

I would prefer Option B. This power supply method is comfortable to use with easy installation which last longer when compared to other methods.

I don't have an automatic chicken coop but I would prefer the power supply cord for the most stability, then solar and then batteries as I hate replacing batteries so fast and it is expensive.

I would prefer option b the most. It’s the most reliable power source of the three. I like the solar panels in option a next. I feel like they could save me money, but aren’t as reliable as the plug. I like the batteries in option c the least. They always need to be replaced and are annoying.

I would choose "B" because it is electric and I would always have power.

I always prefer option B because I think it's easier to have electricity to plug into. I hate relying on batteries and it seems like batteries just never last as long as I need them to, so option B is my choice.

Cord because my electricity, we don’t have no stop solar power.

I like it because it plugs in to the house

I am more incline to purchase a product that can be plugged in or uses batteries. I feel uncomfortable depending on solar power.

Regarding the power supply options you mentioned, each has its own advantages and disadvantages, and the best option would depend on various factors such as the location of the coop, the frequency of use, and the availability of electricity.A power supply cord is a convenient option if the coop is located near an electrical outlet, as it provides a reliable and consistent source of power. However, it can be inconvenient and potentially hazardous if the cord is not properly secured and protected from the elements.Battery-powered automatic chicken coop doors are becoming increasingly popular due to their portability and ease of installation. They also provide a reliable source of power, as long as the batteries are properly maintained and replaced as needed. However, the cost of replacing batteries can add up over time, and it may not be the best option for those living in areas with extreme temperatures.Solar-powered automatic chicken coop doors are a sustainable and environmentally friendly option, as they rely on renewable energy from the sun. They can also be cost-effective in the long run, as they do not require an external power source or batteries. However, their effectiveness may depend on the weather and the amount of sunlight available, and they may not be the best option for those living in areas with limited sun exposure or harsh weather conditions.In conclusion, the best power supply option for an automatic chicken coop door would depend on various factors and personal preferences. A power supply cord may be the best option if an electrical outlet is readily available, while a battery-powered or solar-powered door may be more suitable for those in remote areas or those looking for a more sustainable option.

I would prefer solar with with rechargable power back up. Batteries last choice.I am not sure what question regarding socket relates to.

I have never heard of chicken coop doors with sockets. So I chose charging methods that did NOT require being plugged in (Thus Option B came in last). I selected Option C as the most portable and not dependent upon the sun being out (at night or on a cloudy day). Thus I selected Option A over B and C over A.

Because of the possibility that an electric outlet would not be available, my first choice is the batteries. My second choice is the solar powered option ... assuming the day is sunny enough. As my last alternative, I have chosen plugging into an electrical outlet.

Our coop is not equipped with sockets so we have to run an extension cord across the yard. So I would prefer battery (more reliable) or solar.

I think battery would be most reliable for power outages or cloudy days. My current door does not have sockets.

Yes, the door is equipped with sockets. I do prefer the battery option. The batteries would be easy to change and I could use rechargeable batteries. This would make the battery option very economical. I would feel most comfortable relying on batteries. This way I know that the door would always be in operation

My first choice is "C" because you can set up this chicken coop door anywhere the coop is located. The coop could be a great distance away, and the door will work with batteries. Also, there are no extra devices (solar equipment and sockets with wires) that the chicken could destroy. Chickens are known to pluck and scratch everything, and I think the wiring of solar and plug in socket to an electrical grid, would be in jeopardy of getting destroyed by the chickens. Also, the solar option may have limitation if the coop is located in the shade or if you live in a place with cloud coverage. Also, seasons will play a part if the solar door can adequately charge the power bank to the door to work. So my favorite is the battery operated chicken coop door.

Option C. Our chicken coop has no power to the building. I would want one that can be powered by batteries as that is easy to use and change as necessary

After carefully studying and comparing all three images of chicken coop door images equipped with sockets displayed above, I selected Option C as my first preference and the one that I would most likely click on to purchase for my own use. I felt that this image was the best for me because of the battery operation capability of the product. Option B was my second choice followed finally by Option A with all three rankings based on my own personal opinion of the relative attractiveness of each product image.

I prefer battery. AC power is not available at my chicken coop and replacing batteries is simple.

I'm all about energy efficient, helping my planet, saving money.

It is more mobile with batteries and I don’t have to always find a viable power source.

I prefer the battery because is going to be inside the door

C - Preferred with batteries for ease of use.A - Solar is concerning because it can be insufficiently powered.B - Dislike seeing the product plugged in.

First I would prefer battery, because solar is unreliable and hard to find a plugin near a chicken coop. Second, I would like to have an outdoors power source as a backup, then electric because I don't know if I would have that available.

I prefer the option with the battery power. My second choice would be to plug it into a wall socket ... if there is a wall socket available. My last choice would be the solar power ... what happens on a day when the sun is not shining?

When thinking about my chicken coop the problem with the wire is that it would have to be close enough or you'd have to use extension cords the solar panel is a great idea but you have to rely on the sun to reheat it every day the best one would be the batteries cause then you can control how much energy it's using and the ability to move it anywhere and not be confined to a certain area
