Hello In the film I present the whole journey from adopting a rooster of the rare Ayam Cemani breed whose previous owners wanted to kill for improper behavior. Since there is a rooster, a hen would be useful. Unfortunately, I did not manage to get Ayam Cemani, but a common hen with a dark coat. Therefore, the need arose to build a small henhouse and since I did not want to be a slave to poultry, there was also an immediate condition that the henhouse would open and close automatically. It would seem that you can buy accessories for this, but their quality leaves much to be desired, so I decided to build my own remote opening and closing system and at the same time controlled by a clock, which I used from a cheap timer for watering the garden. When you work hard, you get hungry, so the idea for a vegetable tart with the maximum number of products that I can produce myself. Butternut squash and kale, mushrooms such as lion's mane, pink oyster mushroom and Japanese saffron milk cap The henhouse consists of an old door, remains of an OSB board, two pallets and an angle bracket. I made the sliding doors and the actuator and automation from an old cordless drill plus two microswitches from an old photocopier. Finally, the shape of the henhouse was changed from a sloping roof to an almost flat roof. The henhouse is protected against martens and other pests of hens in the form of a live trap. I added a small 10W photovoltaic panel so that you don't have to remember to charge the battery. contact: [email protected] The control is a 12v Sonoff wifi module, e.g. one for PLN 31 with shipping: https://pl.aliexpress.com/item/400047... #automatichenhouse #smallhenhouse #ayamcemani
