Very pleased with this, had read reviews saying takes chickens a couple of months to get used to it - ours must be a bit braver and nosier, they couldn't wait to check it out and use it from day 1! We're already noticing less wasted pellets compared to the old feeder. Feeder is more robust than expected, easy to set up - slightly noisy treddle but our chickens don't seem to care. We have mixed size and age chickens but they can all use this without difficulty.

Bought two different ones as the wild birds where hammering the food. The extra touches on this one made it well worth the extra £7 compared to the other feeder. The feet make it well sturdy plus alleviates the sharp edges. The best bit is the hinged top, just so convenient when topping the food up. Only down side compared to other seems to be the treadle. On this one it has holes and the food the birds flick out falls thru so ends up being underneath. Easy enough to move feeder to one side and sweep it out. On the other feeder solid treadle so the food collects on it which is better as the birds soon clear it. My girls still unsure about the noise it makes!!! If I had to purchase another I wouldn't hesitate to buy this one.

On first opening the box everything seems ok. On assembly the feet are a pain to put on and although they are supposed to slot into a pre cut hole to hold them in place they don’t. Vermin proof it is not. It may keep the birds out which is my issue but a rat would easily just push the metal plate which covers the food back enough to feed . This can be done without needing to press the treadle down. And lastly the treadle is very short in length my bird are just common garden hybrid and they are going to have issues fitting on the treadle and then bending down. This is the problem with buying mail order can’t look at these details.
