Pros: Good for little ones

It got us through the chickie stage.  I've now repurposed it as an oyster shell dispenser.  Useful then, and handy now.  Plus, it's purple, which makes my daughter happy.

This is good for when the chicks are smaller and you only have a few of them.  After a couple weeks they like to knock it over and perch on the top.  I prefer the longer trough like ones.

Pros: Feeds the chicks

Cons: Waste

The chicks can spill the food. I think the openings are a little large. It might be nice to have one with smaller openings so they couldn't throw the feed from side to side as much.
They can jump on it and poop into the feeder.
I hung it up with duct tape and wire and the problems were reduced.
Wish there was a hanging variety. big_smile.png

Pros: fits in small brooders

Cons: base separates

A readily available product that was useless because the two part base easily separated causing spillage and frustration. I glued the 2 pieces together and now I love it.  Quick and easy to fill. Several fit in a large brooder to encourage eating. Easy to clean.

Pros: little chicks like it & its fits in a small area.

Cons: be sure to make sure that it is securely closed or it will come apart and spill th feed

get the red feeders --- chicken peck at the color red.

Pros: feeds eight chicks at the same time

Cons: always has bedding inside it

This feeder works very well for small chicks.  It is made of strong and sturdy heavy weight plastic.  I did replace the 1 quart 'plastic' jar with a mason glass jar for added weight to reduce chances of tipping over.  Overall I am very happy with the product and price. It should hold up well through many years of use.

Pros: chicks cant poop in it, holds lots of food, very sturdy

Cons: bedding is always in it, chicks perch on it

I think this feeder is perfect for little chicks. I have the 8 little red sex links at home that love to sleep by it but they have learned that it is not a perch and to not sit on it but I am overall happy with it.

Pros: easy to use

Cons: have to manually shake to get the food distributed from the bsin

Great feeder we even drilled a hole at the top and hung it from the roof.
