Questions & Answers
This item does not come with screws or hooks for mounting to the wall, but a few bolts from the inside through the back and onto the wall or a shelf should do. With a plastic back, it has a flat surface Rubbermaid is a good option. I have mine on the floor inside the run and it works well.
I can recommend placing it on a block if you want to raise it. We have not tested the hanging part, so you would need to place it on pellets.
With the feeder, you are not provided with caps.
Yes, of course! We give it to our ducks and they love

I get it. Though it hurt to have to pay such a lot of money for a few pounds of plastic, I love this feeder! This thing changed my life - I can dump a whole bag of feed into this thing, and they last a WEEK longer than they can on their old way Served as a feeder for school. In addition, I won't lose feed to mold when it rains. Every single one of my friends has recommended it to me.
Please slide down. Having purchased this product previously, I would not hesitate to do so The customer also needs to keep an eye on the feeder periodically to ensure the chicken feed is falling to the bottom and checking that it is sliding down. In the event that your chickens gather in front of the feeder, it is most likely that they are lacking in Could the feeder be improved by permitting viewing of the amount of feed inside the feeder without lifting the cap? (clear Once the roosting has been eliminated, then the birds can be released. The following steps should be taken to prevent roosting on the feeder The current system requires that customers make their own changes. It may be possible to prevent roosting in products by improving their design.
This is due to the rodent issue, which is why 4 stars for this hotel. If the feeder is set on blocks so that it is raised above the ground, its perfect for hens. I did not have any problems getting my hens to eat the feed. It would keep the feed dry if it rained, that would be nice. It would also reduce spilled feed on the ground, but there would be no rodent protection. I would give this item a five star if there was a way to cover the holes at night to prevent pests from getting to the feed. I have had a few feeders since last year, but this is by far the easiest The feeder might be covered during the night if I can think of a way. I thought it would be smaller, but it ended up being bigger than I imagined.
We ship within 24 hours. The cost of feeding it is reasonable compared to the quantity It is lightweight. There is a bag capacity of 50 pounds. There are concerns I just received this yesterday and I like the design, but I wonder how well it will stand up to cold weather after owning a hobby farm for more than 20 years. I did not expect the material to be so thin - I thought it would be thick like a thermal cooler. It may be thinner but is sturdy and roughly 3/16" thick. You can get plastic feeder troughs that hang on the fence for horses or goats or the gallon buckets that are made of plastic that can be used for both food and water for the animals. The material is also not recommended for frequent exposure to the sun - I'm curious how it will hold up. The product is labelled as UV protected, but so do a lot of other things like the UV protected vinyl fence posts that last for two years before the sun breaks them down. We will have to see how things turn out in the future. Although the price seems high, I wanted to see if it would last so that I could make a more permanent purchase. This machine will be worth the cost if it lasts 3 years or more.
Despite their popularity with my chickens, they leave plenty of feed on the ground even when we put them at shoulder height. I like this bird feeder because it keeps rain from coming in and can be filled easily.
The answer is yes! The unit holds exactly one normal feed bag, and everyone figured out how to use it Further orders are on the way.
We've used several different feeders to no avail. I love this! I'm sure I'll use it a lot! The hens all get their turns and some holes have two eating at the same time, so there is no squabbling, and best of all, they do not need to scatter it around the coop or There were two of them. It's wonderful to have both a layer pellet feeder and a scratch grain feeder in the run - both of them they love. Through this system, I think that some of our "defective" chickens have been able to learn a lot. There is no way my husband could get on top of it, and it is easy to fill and clean. It is sturdy and has not been turned over. In view of our intention to increase our flock in the next spring, two more should be added. My opinion of this product cannot be high enough.
Having a flock of about 30 chickens, I've been looking to find an easy way to distribute food without having to scrape it out in order to attract rodents and cover it with These are two of the feeders and two of the wall feeders I have. In chicken apartments and coops with the cat-proof feeders and secure coops all birds get fed and the coop stays cleaner because there is less waste. Chickens don't "share," however these feeders design will allow all birds to get fed. Three of the feeding stations can accommodate only four birds at a time, but because food is always available, the hens will visit each station at different times during the day to eat. If you have a small flock, a single feeder would be perfect The bird feeders can be stuffed with food and left outside for the birds to eat without much additional The lid did have to be covered to prevent the birds from roosting on it and pooping on it.
