Grandpas Feeder

[Ajoy1955]

Well I have finally broke down and got the Grandpas Feeder, my 6 girls are currently on step two of the training process.. 3 of my girls use it with no issues at all, and my other 3 will use it but they are not very comfortable with it.. my question is…if a chicken is hungry enough will they find a way to eat? For example.. getting over their fear of the new feeder, and eating from it anyway…

I always feel like if at least some of the flock is doing what you want them to, whether feeding, drinking, roosting, laying in actual nesting boxes etc....Then eventually the stragglers will catch on.

Yeah I know.. I guess I am impatient..this morning the other 3 seem to be eating from the feeder

Pretty son, you’ll enjoy the sound of the top closing when they get off the feeder. I do.

I use a bucket feeder. I don't like the wild birds messing with it and I assume animals use it at night. I think I have to refill it too often because of that.

Is this grampa thing the way?

My Grandpa’s feeder is not. The wild birds can only get in if the chickens open it for them. And they don’t do that.

Now that my girls are completely trained, I absolutely love the Grandpas Feeder! Don’t be tempted to settle for a cheaper knock off treadle feeder.. this feeder is amazing

Agreed it is a nice sound when they are using the feeder!
