Review: Grandpas Feeders are great! - Not only does it work well for the chickens, it keeps food dry and protected and holds a lot of food so you can leave a few days and make sure they have enough. And the chickens love it too. They replaced my feeder after 18 mos because of a crack. They were polite, fast, and appreciative. Don’t expect I’ll need to contact them again unless I get more chicks. HIGHLY recommend!
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!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Sturdy food protection
*by C***E on August 26, 2024*

My chickens loved this feeder box right away. They also like pecking it because it’s metal & makes “music”. They are still training with the open lid but have their meals regularly from it. I add dried meal worm to make it as interesting as possible at meals. So far the feeder has saved food from being dumped or flicked about, making for savings & nothing to draw rodents or roaches. I have hope it will continue to be a success. It is sturdy & strongly made, too. Update: Well, much as I liked it, after 3 weeks, the birds will not even approach it with the up & down “head-chopper-offer” quick moving lid. It’s not the slamming shut metal noise, though that doesn’t help. A slower closing mechanism would be helpful & make me feel better about it, too. So it doesn’t work as an automatic feeder for my flock. I have to leave it up during the day and manually close it at night. Also the crumbles don’t reload the feeder area. I have to shake the whole box forward to reload the feed trough. So… I may have to return it and try something else. Just too expensive to not do it’s job for us. Update 2 After months of no chicken using it, I gave it away to a fellow chicken parent. Much as I wish it worked for us, my chickens wouldn’t use it. He thought his would. Keeping the stars because it is a sturdy, well made product with benefits I think should work for most.
