    Grandpa's Feeder~~do you like yours?

    Sorry to hear that. We have an enclosed run so those bushy tailed little varmints can't get in to get any feed. One point for me!!!

    Grandpa's Feeder~~do you like yours?

    Thank you texsuze. I thought maybe I was doing something wrong. I don't have other animals getting into mine, thankfully, but they do make a mess, which is something I was hoping to avoid. Feed gets caught on both side of the feeder as well as under it. I do like how much they hold, but I am...

    Grandpa's Feeder~~do you like yours?

    Thankfully the contractor is working on the inside now and has put away his hose. LOL!! Great idea MROO. I hadn't thought about some sort of box to keep water out and the girls off. Those could be quite handy come winter as well. I will go out to our extra bits and pieces pile and see what...

    Grandpa's Feeder~~do you like yours?

    Here you go. I have used just big feed pans in the past or just one of those metal hanging feeders, but I am trying to make sure we don't attract mice or rats because since we built the new coop/run, their food is in the run instead of the coop. It is nice not having to fill the feeder and...

    Grandpa's Feeder~~do you like yours?

    I saved up for a year to get two of these feeders for my girls. We have been using them for almost a year now. The girls had no problem figuring out how to use them, however, I am not so sure I like them. The chickens sit on top of them so there is always poo on the lid. They get poo on the...
