Automatic Chicken Feeder Timer, Briidea Poultry Feeder Motor and Timer Kit, Metal Spin Plate, Adjustable Mount, Ideal for Chickens, Ducks, Geese

This has been a game changer for me-I can leave for the weekend and my chickens are fed consistently at times and intervals I set. Attached to a 5 gal bucket and hung up in the chicken run. Timer is easy to use and the directions are printed right on the product. I love the solar option and plan to buy a panel in the near future but fresh batteries last about a month.

Works great! The timer is easy to figure out we have it set to go off two times a day and it’s been on point every time. Be careful of other little critters trying to get in through the feeder hole though. We use this in our chicken coop and have other birds fly up and sit on it like a perch and eat from the feeder hole as well as a mouse found its way inside but I do believe thats things that we can work to fix nothing to do with the quality of the product. Very satisfied and would recommend to anyone asking.

Easy to use. Works well when the feed bucket is full but as the bucket gets lower in feed, the center of the feed hollows out due to the design of the product, and then the feed won’t come out. The bucket of feed needs to be at least half way full or more at all times so the feed will come out. Also, I suggest you mount it low to the ground or it will spray far and wide. Plus if you have whole peas or other larger bits in the feed, fair warning, those suckers hurt when they come flying out! Keeping it low to the ground avoids it getting enough momentum to hurt. Or you could always put a mesh skirt around the base of the bucket to help prevent the feed from spraying out so hard and far. Overall it was worth the money…. we will see if it continues to hold up in a weeks time. So far so good.

We attached auto feeder to the bottom of a metal trashcan and hung it from a tree. The squirrels cannot defeat it, which is great. You can adjust how many seconds it will yeet the seeds. I have a mixture of scratch and dried worms in there and the chickens come running like Pavlov's dogs every morning and afternoon. It runs on a battery, so there is no cord. I've been running it for a month now every morning and afternoon and the battery is still going strong. 3 seconds in the morning and 3 seconds in the afternoon keep my 14 ladies very happy! (Especially since we are not always home to give them treats in person during the day)

1 star bc when it worked-it was fantastic, flawless! Batteries went out, replaced them and no longer worked.

I use it to feed birds using shelled sunflower seeds when we travel. I used a 1 gallon bucket and lid and tried a 3/4” diameter hole, but found that the seeds did not flow consistently into the feeder. So I used the top 3/4 of a milk jug to make a hopper inside the one gallon bucket. Then enlarged the hole in the bottom of the gallon bucket to match the diameter of the spout on the milk jug. This worked really well. I set the timer to run for just two seconds and that spreads plenty of seed. Then I repeat a feeding later in the day for one second.

Filled a 5 gallon bucket with dried soldier flies. Set it to 8 seconds to feed twice a day because I’m going out of town for Christmas. It definitely slings them. Some bounced off the run walls, but it kept my Silkies busy hunting them instead of sitting on their flufferbutts for quite awhile which is probably good for them as they’re rather lazy. The only improvement I would like to see is a way to set it to not sling quite so far as smaller treats would go out the chicken wire as opposed to bouncing, but I’m happy with it overall for dried worms/flies. Much better than asking and hoping the neighbor came over every day to pitch them some treats or hauling them all in the car with us as I did the last time we went out of state. Was easy-peasy to install on the bucket even without the template that was not in the box. Also simple to program.

I loved the whole idea of it! I attached it to a 5 gallon bucket and it would feed the chickens automatically. After about 7 months it just stopped. I changed the batteries and it seemed to not connect anymore. Huge bummer bc I really liked this product.

Update 8/9/25 - after about a month of use, the clock time has started going wrong. It's done this twice so I've given up using it and asked for a replacement from the manufacturer. The second time could see it reset itself to 00:00. ---- We did a review - search briidea chicken feeder on YouTube. On the plus side you get offered a 2 yr warranty in the instructions Things to watch out for: 1. always going to be some food left on and under the spin plate in the weather or for vermin to eat 2. food goes on the ground - not ideal and 3. don't have much confidence in it lasting in bad weather due to the reviews here so it stays in a large bin overnight. However nice to have the chooks fed when we are out, but not overfed as they would be with a traditional treadle plate feeder.

Funktioniert Einwandfrei

The unit was kept indoor but only works intermittently after a month in use. Sometimes it works as expected, sometimes the screen light up at the set feeding time but no spin, or the screen is just completely black even when the feeding time is due. Having problem is not the worst. The customer support does not acknowledge that I bought this when I sought support, even I gave my amazon order details in a screenshot. Poor product and service. I am going to figure out how to complain with Amazon. This kind of behaviour is completely unacceptable.

OK but not at good as I wanted

Eine gute Idee und sehr Hilfreich!
