Do you have a nesting box with a perch that raises and lowers? Are you tired of raising and lowering the perch yourself every evening and morning?
This contraption will raise the perch in the evening to keep chickens from sleeping in the nesting box or sleeping on the perch and then it will lower the perch for you in the morning when its time to let those ladies lay some eggs! With the help of a few timers and a linear actuator, you can now automate your nesting box perch! I've even added an override switch so it can be operated at any time, not just when the timer triggers it.
The instructions to create this device were found on this website which shows you how to make an automated chick coop door. Simply follow the instructions and instead of attaching the device to your chicken coop door... connect it to your nesting box perch!
