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.
Review: Worth every penny! - I hesitated to purchase this feeder because it’s expensive and there are so many other alternatives. But let me tell you - it is a game-changer for your flock (and you!) Once I decided I needed to look past the price, I purchased the Large Size for our flock of 12 and was so pleased by all this feeder provides! MORE SECURE FEED STORAGE & DELIVERY LESS WASTE (much less waste!!) LESS WORK FOR ME (holds about 10 days’ worth of food for 12 chickens) MORE interesting way for the chickens to receive their feed - meaning less boredom for the flock LESS tempting to rodents, predators, wild birds, etc - we have seen ZERO of these since converting to this feeder. We had many wild birds helping themselves to the old feeder! MORE value due to exceedingly sturdy metal construction and smoothly working moving parts. To be fair, our chickens were scared of it once we moved to Phase 2 of training on day 3 (lever and lid half open). The movement and sound startled them and I just “knew” they’d never eat from it. The 1st day in Phase 2 I think they ate less because of the movement & I considered moving back to Phase 1 (full-open). BUT the next morning when they were let out, they practically tackled each other to get to the feeder and ate like pros. They did so well we moved to Phase 3 only 2 days later (which is how they’ll eat from now on: lid down until they step on the platform - then the feed is exposed until they step down). The entire “training” took 6 days instead of the 2 weeks suggested!! DO follow the training schedule; but if the birds “get it” sooner, you can move to the next Phase. This product is worth every penny. It saves me so much time with day-to-day chores because it’s always ready! It is soooo WELL BUILT and sturdy. The mechanisms work exactly like it should because they are also well designed and built. Our chickens are happy with full crops and we are happy to have such an efficient and well designed way to feed our flock. Don’t be like me and hesitate due to the price. It’s genuinely worth every penny!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Don't Hesitate - Buy It
*by C***A on August 3, 2019*

I'm pretty new to chickens, and I felt like I was overspending on my new hobby when I bought this thing. However, I am SO glad I bought it now that I've seen it in action. It is well made, easy to use, and I can tell I'm saving by avoiding food waste (which is a money and a sanitation thing). I also wanted to avoid rodents around the coop as much as possible, and this seems to have worked so far. Another benefit that wasn't obvious to me as I was learning about my new hobby - with this solution you can feed crumble forever (avoids the major downside - waste), which it sounds like many chickens prefer to larger pellets. I had this feeder in my coop when I brought home 8 week pullets. The birds took to it immediately, and I wouldn't have even needed the training steps (it comes with hardware to allow you "partially open" settings to train your birds), except the birds were small enough they could get trapped inside the container. Please note the manufacturer says not to use it with small birds for this reason. Anyway, I left it on the partially open setting so nobody could get stuck until they grew too big to get into the box (about 11 weeks), took away the training screws, and never looked back. Working like a charm! My only complaint is that between this and my watering solution - I don't have to go out to my chicken coop every day, and sometimes I miss my daily bird chores. ;)
