    Cow feed, Sweet Feed.

    A little bit used as a treat should be alright, but I would not give too much. My ladies get about a cup of scratch a day when it gets cold out as well as table scraps year round.

    Experience wirth Automatic door from Foys

    Again... It runs on 4 AA batteries!!! I had considered the drapery motor option, but figured after materials and labor I was better off with the VSBi; also, I have no electricity to my coop. My dw has a bun in the oven and the smell of the chicken coop (and nearly everything else) gives her...
