New automatic coop opener allows consumers to balance chickens with lifestyle

National leader in automated gate-opener technology makes flock ownership more accessible to everyday Americans, unveils product at Global Pet Expo

A new product that automatically opens a chicken coop when the sun comes up and closes it when the sun goes down makes it possible for many more consumers to keep Free Range chickens without cramping their lifestyle.

Ghost Controls, the national leader in automated DIY gate-opener technology, has adapted its proven technology to chicken coop automation and is unveiling its transformative product at the Global Pet Expo under the brand name Coop Controls. With True Value as its launch partner, the product will be available nationally in April 2018 and pre orders can be placed online immediately.

A Poultry Science survey found that 70 percent of respondents began keeping chickens less than 5 years ago, indicating a tremendous growth in popularity of chicken ownership” said Joe Kelley, CEO and president of Ghost Controls, “This product allows people with busy lives to balance chickens with their lifestyle by making it so much easier to keep them.”

Raising a flock of chickens is a demanding endeavor, requiring owners to get up at daybreak to let them out and be home to put them away at sunset, when predators hunt. With a patent-pending design, Coop Controls’ automatic coop door opener kit is the first of its kind, providing a reliable solution to let chickens in and out of the coop thanks to its adaptability to swing-type doors and Intelligent Control technology.

Coop Controls solves a major challenge of chicken ownership, making it possible for a broad cross section of consumers, from urban to rural to suburban dwellers, and those with busy lives, including full-time jobs away from home to enjoy backyard chickens.

Coop Controls will make its debut during the Global Pet Expo, March 21 to 23, at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando. For more information and pre-order details, stop by booth No. 6372 and visit coopcontrols.com.
