First time I've heard about this feeder, I think it's fantastic! I'm having trouble with rodents eating the chicken food, day time and night time.....pack rats, kangaroo rats,chipmonks, mice and worse of all GROUND SQUIRRELS!!! I just got one of those automatic feeders where the chickens step on the platform and the lid lifts up, my chickens thinks its a trap to kills chickens, I stood off watching them and what do you think I saw setting on the platform chowing down? ....a ground squirrel!! For the chickens I tried setting a rock on the platform to hold the lid open so they would know that's where the food is and the box won't hurt them but their still afraid of it when the lid goes up. I am now going to ebay to check out this other feeder.
