"This has worked great for my girls. Easy and no waste"
"This feeder issue is outrageously expensive for the problems it has 😡 What a complete piece of shit. Not only does it only hold a little amount,but chickens can’t get to the food. Two thumbs down"
If positioned dry and if you have enough to replace the moldy chicken feed and cope with the chores, this feeder is a good value for the price. Otherwise, consider alternatives that are more durable and hygienic.
Convenient but unreliable feeding mechanism, risk of technical failures
