Best EVER quail feeder *UPDATE #46*

[CountryMom]

I am digging it up now. I figured we probably need to get him on here! LOLOL

I did give him the link and he said he's checked the site out. He also sells quail eggs and last fall I bought jumbo coturnix from him too. Was very pleased. He's a "good egg" and definitely BYC-worthy!!!

He said he'll have another feeder on ebay next week; he's working on an order for 6 right now. They are definitely catching on and well worth it.

He's got one on right now, but it looks like it's only one, and it is a bidding auction. If we were to all go and bid on it, that feeder could be very expensive!!

You can contact him directly. I bought the first one off the auction and then dealt with him directly on the other 3.

How hard it the feeder to fill? I'm thinking that while the small openings save on waste, it must also be a pain to fill.

 

[LilRalphieRoosmama]

That's a very good question. I had a little trouble getting used to it and was trying to fill it over the bag of feed. I kept spilling so I tried using a funnel. The next three he made for me, he cut the holes a little wider and it made it easier. I keep my feed in a large metal garbage can now, so I just tilt the feeder to get the feed to one end, angle it inside the can, and just fill it up.

Anyone know if these feeders could be adapted for chickens?

 

[brooster]

yeah, the filling design looks tough, but thats cool you found a good feeder, i need that for my quail, they waster soo much!

 

[chicken_angler]

what type of feeder do you use right now Dylan?

 

[LilRalphieRoosmama]

Filling it isn't as hard as it sounds. I was used to the red ones with the tops that flip up, so you just dump it in. Unfortunately the birds just dump it out! I fill it now with a Chinese food soup container that smooshes to a good pour spout. I think you could use it for chickens; don't see why not.
