    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.

    Works Well

    This feeder works well, our chickens have taken to it easily. The main problem we were having was all the neighborhood birds eating the chicken feed. This feeder has solved that. I do need to note, the feeder does NOT hold 40 lbs of feed. We have tried the crumble and the pellets, and we can only fit about 35 lbs of feed in at one time.

    I now own 3!

    I have had chickens for over 60 years. These are the best feeders I have ever had. I lock them up at night by putting a brick underneath the trigger plate to keep rats and mostly feral cats out of the food. It has saved me a lot of money in feed you just have to be careful and prop them open when you have young chicks, I have lost one baby chick by decapitation because I forgot to lock it open! I highly highly recommend these! I will never go back to any type of feeder. Thank you for an excellent product. Whoever you are China or not my first one is five years old and I’ve never had a problem with it. I have 55 chickens.

    Anything to keep the birds and mice out of the feed gets an A+.

    Mostly great!

    Upfront...I am pleased to have this large capacity feeder. The company was easy and pleasant to deal with and upon request, offered the discount I inquired about. That said, after having the feeder in place and in use by the chickens, there are two things that currently bother me. One is that the top lid leaves a gap (as does my other brand of feeders) that potentially allows room for roaches to get into the feed. It hasn't happened yet, but I believe it might. Second is that chicken poop gets into the food. HOW? Not sure yet except that they are getting up on it and pooping; then, it falls down into the gap of the food opening, and then maybe when they open it to eat, it falls in? This is true even if the small gap is not full of poop, so I'm still in a discovery process to determine what is really happening and how to stop it. End result is still that poop gets into the food in the front where they eat. LOVE the 40 lb. capacity!! This allows for us to go away for a short period and have confidence there is enough food left for them. Haven't had it long enough yet to experience any mechanical failures, and hopefully there won't be any as this one seems better thought out in its construction.
