Automatic pellet feeder

[FVRM]

Does anyone know of an automatic pellet feeder? I work for most of the day and I wish I could feed my chickens every few hours. One time I went to a catfish lake to fish, and I noticed they had some automatic feeders in the middle of the lake that released pellets at specific times. I couldn't find any like those

I leave food in the coop at all times in a feeder. Are you unable to leave food out for them?

I have not ever used these so I don't know if they would work for chicken food very well or not. You don't want it to rain on your food after it falls on the ground, since moldy food can kill chickens.

This is what I use in the coop. I hang one of them and the other I have setting inside a black rubber feed bowl. I LOVE them. I buy the 3 lb size.

I just don't want to be wasteful with the feed. I give them just enough so that no single pellet is left uneaten. I kinda like the Moultrie Pro Hunter 6.5-gal Hanging Feeder. It will probably need some readjusting but I want to have it in case I go on vacation for a few days. I can basically put a whole feed bag in it.

WOW they gave it good reviews on that website.

Some people make PVC feeders also- they say they are very low in waste. You might search byc for those if interested.
