[QUOTE="AAlexander, post: 7141902, member: 152093"] Good Evening, I am a young Design Engineering Student From the UK, I have lived on a smallholding with around 150 Chickens my whole life, while being directly involved in the operation of it for about 10 years. I am currently designing a method of automating the security of Animals at night beyond the standard "door closes when it is dark" product. In essence: Producing a product to help people keep their birds (or other small animals) safe. Could I please have some answers to the following questions: [B]1) How long have you kept/worked-with Chickens or other small livestock? 2) Have you ever had issues with foxes (or any other predatory animal) attacking your livestock? Do you know anyone else who has? 3) Have you ever used automatic systems to open/close enclosures? [SIZE=3] [/SIZE][SIZE=4][COLOR=rgb(40, 50, 78)]If you have used such products in the past: A) Are they entirely reliable, or do they need Regular maintenance? B) If they require regular daily checking, is their automation factor irrelevant? C) Have you ever had the door/gate etc close before all the animals are inside? If so, how often does this happen?[/COLOR][/SIZE] 4) Do you think it would be practical to manually input how many animals you are expecting, and then close the enclosure once they are all inside? What issues might this have?[/B] Could you please let me know if you would be happy for me to follow up with you at a later date in regards to further feedback, if not, that is very much alright. Many Thanks in advance, Alden Alexander. [/QUOTE]
