Innovations for Enhanced Poultry Keeping

Smart coops and accessories combine traditional poultry keeping with modern technology to improve efficiency, security and the welfare of your animals. No matter your reasoning for raising a flock, we offer various products to help you save time, prevent costly mistakes and make bird management easier, transforming your bird-keeping experience.

Automatic Coop Doors

Automatic doors are a convenient upgrade for coops and other poultry enclosures. With light sensors and preprogrammed timers, these doors can open at sunrise and close at sunset or at other predetermined times. Some models even connect to your smartphone with an app, allowing you to control the door from anywhere.

More than just convenience, by locking securely when closed, this innovative solution significantly improves flock safety, protecting your birds from natural predators, such as raccoons, foxes and owls. Additionally, automatic coop doors ensure your flock has access to fresh air and forage at the appropriate times each day, even when you’re not present.

Surveillance Cameras

Keeping an eye on your flock is an important aspect of raising poultry. Installing cameras inside or outside the coop allows you to monitor your birds at all times, offering benefits such as predator detection, health monitoring and egg collection assistance. Real-time monitoring empowers you to intervene and respond to potential threats, as well as observe flock behavior to identify signs of illness or distress. Additionally, cameras pointed at nesting boxes allow you to check for eggs without entering the coop, reducing disturbance to your flock and saving time.
