Review: Lives up to the reviews. My wee birds love it. - Great item. Very happy with it. My young spring chicks took to it immediately, the mature hens very a little more cautious at first. Limiting their food quantity behind the treadle really motivated them quickly to use it and now they all happily feed themselves. As for protecting against rodents, it appears to be doing a fine job. I am not seeing the food in the bin disappear suspiciously quickly or anything like that. I am putting crumble, dried worms, peanuts in shells, and other dried food through it.
Review: Great way to save on feed costs! - There are so many reasons to like this unit. First and foremost, once your chicks have been trained on this, the lid will automatically close keeping it safe from rodents at night. What I really like about it is that my chickens can’t scratch the feed and throw it all over the coop and waste all my hard earned money! It is well constructed, mostly assembled and easy to finish up. They have you train your chickens by positioning the bar so that the base plate doesn’t move and the lid stays open the whole day. I’ve heard a lot of people complain that it’s a real pain in the butt to have to remove the screws at night so that you can close the lid. I disagree and if you look at my photos, it will show you how I dealt with it. I simply loosened the screw enough so that the Nut and was nearly to the end of the screw. At night I simply lift the lid and push in both screws so that I can close the lid easily. There is no need to screw and unscrew the lid every night. What I don’t like about it, the top of the lid is flat, which means my girls will roost on it. I’ve seen other brands that have a tented top, and I wish they would come out with a top like that to prevent the chickens from roosting and getting it dirty. There is a minimum weight in order to get the lid open, so if you have small bantams , it’s not likely to work for you. Right now my chicks are at the weight of a small bantam and I’m in my training period. I’m pretty confident in a couple of weeks they will be heavy enough to activate it on its own. Another thing that concerns me is now that I have it in training mode, the lid is held up by the screws. Several of my girls have decided to roost on that. If they try to do that with others eating out of the bin once I’m out of training mode, I’m concerned it might snap their neck. Will have to wait and see what happens. I’ll update if there are serious concerns about this issue. All in all I find it really convenient. I can go away for a week with all the feed that it can hold and be pretty confident will have a supply. I feel that the price is aligned with the quality. When you first set it out, its size and shininess are likely to freak out your chicks. I solved this by sprinkling some mealworms on the base plate and on the top of the feed. They were on it in less than five minutes. My chicks were about seven weeks old when I put this out for training. They are medium sized breed. UPDATE: OK, it’s been a full week in the first part of training mode. I’ve had no issues opening and closing the lid with the way I have positioned the screws. I was worried that the nuts might fall off the end, but so far so good. we’ve had massively heavy rain and winds. And I was worried with all of the wind and rain, the feed couldn’t possibly stay dry. But it did. I’m impressed. There is no scratch feed on the ground. The chickens have stopped even trying to scratch it out, which they did the first day. And at least at the moment. If they get out of the coop before I get to open up their feed, they are able to activate the lid opening. Don’t get me wrong, they can’t activate it all the way because I have it locked. But boy did they try. And I see it going up and down. Part of that may because more than one will get on that plate at the same time. I’m also guessing that once I’m in my next stage, and they will be able to partially open and close the feeder they will learn better than to jump on that door. At least that’s what I’m hoping. I still don’t like that they still jump on the lid. But it is what it is. I am shocked that I still haven’t needed to fill it! It’s saving me a ton on feed costs.

Getting the birds used to the feeder is easy, not filling the feeder as often as the other feeder, buying less feed, and it lasts longer.
