ABOUT THE GRANDPAS AUTOMATIC CHICKEN FEEDER
Animals
The feeder can be used by chickens, bantams, and pheasants.
Using with Lighter Birds
For very light birds or bantams which are too light for the feeder, it is very easy to adjust the feeder by putting a small weight on the tread plate. Do not use with baby chickens as they may get caught when bigger birds step off.
How many chickens can feed at once?
LARGE - A large feeder can have 4-5 chickens eating together at one time. Because of its larger capacity, we recommend the large feeder for flocks of a dozen or more birds.
STANDARD - A standard feeder can have 3 – 4 chickens eating together at one time, but can be easily be used to feed a flock. We recommend the standard feeder for flocks up to a dozen chickens but if you don’t mind filling it more often then it will support more.
Assembly
The product comes almost fully assembled, just fasten the treadplate on and you’re ready to go.
The whole product fits easily into your car for transport.
Feed Size
A large feeder can hold 18kg/40lb feed: generally will feed 12 hens for 10 days.
A standard feeder can hold 9kg/20lbs feed: generally will feed 6 hens for 10 days.
Training birds
The feeders come with 2 training bolts to limit movement and instructions for their use: 2 settings with one week on each setting.
Feed Types
The Feeders are suitable for all dry feeds.

We Are feeding half of the amount of feed to our chickens since getting this new Grandpa feeder.

We've tried other feeders but our chooks seem to find a way to get the feed out. So far this feeder has stopped the waste. It should pay for itself in a few months!

Your grandpa Theatre is absolutely wonderful. Naturally I’m over the moon about it. We only have 4 laying isa brown chooks, i I have completely filled the large grandpa feeder with a mixture of corn laying pellets and sunflower seeds. It will last at least a months food for the Chookies. I would certainly encourage anyone to buy a grandpa feeder if they have or contemplating on purchasing some chooks.

This is the fifth and sixth feeders that we have bought. We have a large flock of free range chickens. Unfortunately, our barn burned down this spring. The feeders that we already had were next to barn and survived the fire just fine. They are still in service. These feeders are worth every penny.
