Hyenas?
First thing I did when I took it out the box was plug it in. I must have accidentally hit the down button, because it shot the door out the bottom. There is a piece of aluminum strip that goes in the bottom to prevent the door going to far down, but there weren’t any screws in it to prevent it coming out.
Not an issue putting it back together.
You have to remove the control/drive box to put batteries in. Tested fine, pretty easy to program. The A/C input is kinda loose, and it plugs in on the bottom right of the box. All the pictures show the control box on the outside, but I wouldn’t recommend that. Door height opening is adjusted by motor operating time. (Less time run, lower open)
Weak point looks to be the drive gear, but if you clean the door regularly enough it should last a good bit.
It’ll be nice not to have to get up with the chickens to let them out.
I wouldn’t rely on this to stop a raccoon. Or a hyena, as in the pics. But if your birds are in a relatively secure area already, should be fine.
