great video, but just to add my experience. I do not need to be by the chickens everyday. I bought a chickenguard, automatic door opener. You can set a timer or use the light sensor and it opens and closes automatically. Now, it was $200, so you'll have to factor that in. Also, my feeder/waterers are big enough I only need to add water twice a week. The feed lasts about 10 days.
