Caring for pets like cats and dogs has gone high-tech, so why should pet chickens be left behind? Well, left behind they ain’t any more thanks to Coop Smart Backyard Chicken Coop. While chicken can’t offer companionships like felines and canines do but in lieu of companionship, they offer you fresh eggs that have up to 20x more nutrients (vitamin E, A, D, omega 3s, and beta carotene) than store-bought varieties (but make sure you rear chickens, not roosters).
Billed as “a first-of-its-kind smart coop”, the Coop integrates smart home technology in a beautiful, minimalist coop that enables you to protect, monitor, and tend your brood, right from your phone. The main coop is crafted with double-walled recyclable plastic, using the same rotational molding technique as YETI coolers, and is durable and weather-resistant.
Each coop has a heavy-duty attached run to keep predators out while giving the chicken some outdoor freedom. The coop is outfitted with “Run & Roost” cams with event recording, night vision, motion alerts, and more, to give you a view of the inside and outside of the coop.
The coop further touts a pre-installed automatic coop door that opens with sunrise and closes with sunset on its own, operates manually remotely, or sets up a schedule if so desire.
On the inside, there is a dual-compartment nesting box – accessible from the hatch from the outside – that is optimally weighted and lockable to keep eggs in and pesky critters out. And finally, on the floor of the coop, there is a removable and compostable litter tray that allows for painless coop cleanouts.
Coop is taking pre-orders for the Coop Smart Backyard Chicken Coop as we speak for an early bird price of US$1,995 (U.P. US$2,495).
