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.

1st unit received was damaged during shipping and customer service replaced it immediately. Since setting up, feed is no longer spilled all over the ground but contained within the feeder.

This is my third, or is it fourth, Grandpa's Feeder so you know that I am a satisfied customer. But the build quality is slipping since being made in China. The one I just received was incompletely riveted and had a dented piece that doesn't look like it happened in shipping.
Hi, sorry to hear that the feeder has been received like this. If you can please email us so we can sort this out for you.

🌟 Five Stars for Grandpa’s Feeder!
Grandpa’s Feeder is hands-down the best feeder I’ve ever owned. From day one, my hens (including my hefty Brahmas) figured it out with ease and now feed comfortably and confidently. The design is intuitive and sturdy, and I especially appreciate how it keeps unwanted guests out. Knowing it’s rodent-proof gives me peace of mind and helps keep my flock healthy and safe.
As an organic farmer and beekeeper, I value products that are thoughtfully made and built to last and this feeder truly delivers. It’s a game-changer for anyone who cares deeply about their birds and wants a clean, efficient, and worry-free feeding solution.
Highly recommend!
