The feeder does call for some setting up and also I am just tired of having to set up stuff. I made numerous mistakes and also did not also recognize the springs were meant as locks to keep out brilliant unwelcome guests.Ģ. I haven’t seen any signs of this yet on our feeder, but as we know, rats are good chores.ġ. One thing that concerns me is the possibility of them chewing through the plastic base of this feeder compartment. I liked its upright design and its rodent-free features. Now I’ll cover the things that I don’t like about the feed are Maddie for a start. Not having to worry about feeding the chickens every day and just sort of set and forget is fantastic. And that for a chicken keeper is really great. It holds a lot of feed and we can fill it without any need to worry about feeding our trucks for several weeks. We’ve had a lot of rain lately and the feed stays dry. And again, rats and mice can’t get into it. It’s reasonably lightweight, but then still very durable. This fader is nowhere near, as noisy as that or other turtle feeders that we’ve used. And roosting say there, that’s how I knew the treadmill was getting activated through the nighttime. I used to know that a possum would be feeding out of it possible possums because through the night now our house is a good 50 meters away, but through the night I could hear the treadmill door slam shut.Īnd of course the chickens couldn’t be doing it because that would have been asleep at the time. Particularly when the treble door is closing years ago, we had one of those grandpa chicken feeders or metal, fairly heavy piece of kit. It makes less noise due to the plastic on metal design. It takes up little space and it looks good. I MADEC, first of all, I like the upright design. Now let’s move on to what I liked about the feed. Once the brick was removed and realized that it moved, but that it really didn’t bother them. They might’ve balked a few times as they stepped on the feed. And before long they’re all into it, then after I removed the white, the hands quickly understood how the feeder works. I placed a brick on the treadmill plate to keep the feeder door open for the first few days. And the hands take no time at all to get the hang of using the feeder.

The theater is filled from the top via an easy to open and close lid. I mean, that’s an issue and that attracts Ridens, but I think the main problem for rodents in feed is that they actually get in the feeder and they poop in it and they pay in it and this could make your hands sick or give them diseases. It’s not just that the rodents eat the feed of the feeder. And then when the hen steps off the feeder door closes again. Only when they stand on the treadmill plate, this action opens the feeder door. If you’ve got a lot flock of birds, that’s different to flocks of say the heavier breeds or the standard breeds. It has these easy adjustments here for the type of flock you have.

You might want more if it’s a thick pellet, or if it’s got a bit of molasses through it, or you might want a smaller fee to not let out so much of it’s a lighter grain, the treadmill plate can be adjusted. There are two feed flow settings that can be adjusted to let out more or less feed depending on your flock or the type of feed that you’re using. It came in a professionally packaged and organized box with easy to follow instructions.

You can get several different sizes of this particular feeder, but I wanted the 20 kilograms larger feeder because this capacity feeds our hands for several weeks.
