ChickenGuard are based in Cambridge and make automatic Chicken coop door openers.

The device is operated by a nifty light sensor and or timer. It opens the coop at dawn and shuts at dusk. It keeps hens safe from predators and gives chicken keepers a well deserved ‘lie in’ in the morning.

The survey was conducted in July/August 2017, with a total of 395 respondents.
