I purchased a chicken guard door opener in oct. 2024. I had one for 5 years before and it worked great the entire time. It just wore out. This new one just never worked right, but I kept putting new battery’s in and Messing with it. In Aug. 2025 it just broke. It would not work at all. After some e-mails back-and-forth and a bunch of pictures. They sent me a new motor for my door. It was here very quickly and has been working great.

Fantastic product with great customer support

I bought a new coop and opted to have a ChickenGuard Pro pre-installed. Once the coop was erected, I had a problems with the door sticking and calibration. The retailer referred me to ChickenGuard customer support. Tracey was fantastic - patient, good-humoured and very clear with her guidance. Between us, we resolved the issues. It now works brilliantly and I was very impressed that she checked in a week later to ensure all was well.

I love Chicken Guard

I love Chicken Guard! Both the product and the company.
I have the All in One model. I was impressed with the ease of setup and installation (my hole cutting was less impressive :D). The dependability of the door definitely reduced my stress over going to work (night job) and sleeping in.
I had a problem with the solar panel and the customer service team was quickly responsive and helpful.

Great customer care

They were very helping in resolving a faulty component with my unit. Great customer care and assistance with my issue. It’s a reliable and essential machine for one’s chicken with predators lurking so it’s helpful when they find a solution quickly for you, which they did for me. Many thanks

Great Product

This is our second ChickenGuard. After years using the first issue we upgraded to the new model. Through the horrid heat of summer and the cold and icy snow of winters this door opener protected our chickens and saved their owners from treacherous terrain and forgetful minds. Thanks for a truly great product!

New Pro v Old Extreme

I've had the Chicken Guard Extreme for around 8 years running on batteries. It was a fantastic and reliable device. Unfortunately the Lux sensor failed and I had to resort to setting an open and close time, this ran for around 1 year before it finally gave up. I decided to purchase another one but they no longer make them, instead they've combined a couple of models and made the Pro. I also decided to order the power cable so I could run it from the mains. On arrival I setup the new door opener, calibrated. The door was open and I went to do something else. On passing I noticed the door was shut, and I couldn't manually open it. I had to recalibrate again. The door opened and as I walked away it slowly descended. Turns out the new improved Pro couldn't handle the door weight my Extreme lifted for 8 years.
My other concern is the mains adaptor supplied to save me on batteries just plugs into the bottom of the opener, no environmental protection, on the outside of the opener. This is open to driving rain, mist and other weather scenarios! I'd at least have expected the plug area to be protected. I don't hold much hope on this lasting as long as my Extreme especially in Scottish weather!

Excellent customer support

I recently bought my second ChickenGuard door, having been delighted by the first one. Unfortunately I was unable to get it to work when I first installed it, but Tracey and Meribel on the customer support team were incredibly friendly and helpful, and my door is now installed and functioning! Thanks, ChickenGuard!

difficult reaching customer service

If I could give 0 stars, I would.
The WORST customer service in the world. Supposedly they give 3 years of warranty. Tried to claim it since I had it for 6 months. After 23 months and 11 emails/tries to get warranty they finally responded and then claim I don't have warranty because there's a spider web in a friggin outdoor product. What a lousy, lousy company.

I spent over 200 euros on that thing and it's been faulty since I just got it.
DO NOT BUY anything from them.

Edit
After many mails back and forward the issue was resolved in the end and when it works, it's a great system!

We love our chicken guard auto door!

We love our chicken guard auto door!! We have the all-in-one and it stays functioning throughout the winters even in below freezing temps which I’ve found to be a struggle with other solar/battery auto door brands. Customer service is top notch and very responsive so can’t go wrong!

I love my all in one great customer service

I have been using the all-in-one chicken guard system for one year now. It has been an incredible system. It allows my chickens to enjoy their best chicken life, even on days when I'm unable to let them out in the morning. I have seen numerous knock-offs on the internet, which I would be very reluctant to use, and I would not think they're the same as my original product. I did have a raccoon that chewed through my solar power wire, so I needed to reach out to customer service at one year. I cannot tell you how wonderful that experience was. They immediately got back with me. They offered constructive solutions to my problem and offered to send me another solar panel kit at a very reasonable price. I was able to splice the wires together once it was together. I reached out to them again to confirm that the numbers I was getting as a reading were correct, and they got back to me within a few hours. Wow, that's customer service not heard of in today's world. I'm sure you would not get that kind of customer service with the Chinese knockoffs.

ChickenGuard - Great Service

We bought a ChickenGuard in 2023 and were initially happy with it. But after a few months it weirdly started going through batteries very quickly (a set of AAs were only lasting maybe 6 weeks), it was also asking me to recalibrate the door regularly. I thought this was just a quirk of the electronics, but I decided to ask the folks at ChickenGuard if this was 'normal'. After a couple of emails, they sent me a replacement ChickenGuard. I'm very happy to say that it has been functioning perfectly for the past year... on the same set of batteries, and with just the initial door calibration. So, I have gone from being somewhat disappointed to being very happy with the ChickenGuard. All due to the great service from the folks at ChickenGuard. Thank you.
