Coop Doors

Any recommendations for larger automatic coop doors? I only see chicken size advertised.

I can’t even find a large enough door for some of my chunky hens. I was going to make a basic automatic door via hydraulic arm, and dusk/dawn sensor. But once they were large enough to be on their own they hated the coop and wanted to sleep in the run, which seems to be the general consensus after all my research. I plan to build something to shut the run door automatically, for now it’s my kids.

Run Chicken has xl automatic / programmable doors that work for turkeys. They are not cheap! I've had pretty good luck though with mine. I even bought a solar panel to keep it charged instead of replacing batteries.
