Brilliant! It might be worth it to just get the drapery motor.

I am thinking so to. It looks like it uses a AC to DC transformer so I should be able to run it off a battery. I don't want to run a long cord to the coop.

In that case, an old power window or wiper motor would do. It would just be a matter of fabricating a pulley.

I think that the drill will work. I already have them. I would like to have a photocell to activate it.

I found the cordless drills that can be donated for door openers.
We worked on one end. Large door for coop cleaning. We got another tractor today. Will start a new thread since I think its a keeper.

Chickens are never sequestered. Good investment.

They don't get furloughed either. They are all still alive this morning.
Took me awhile to get their box to the right temp.

Got the chicks and then the girls have been sick. So have I, but someone still has to take care of them.
