Opinions on your favorite varmint-proof feeder?

I'm stuck choosing between Grandpa's Feeder and the ones from ratproofchickenfeeder.com. Both look like really good options, would love to hear some opinions from you all!

I have a Ratproof Chicken feeder. I prefer it's non guillotine style feed door as opposed to Grandpa's guillotine. I followed the teaching directions provided by @Al Gerhart and had success with the first generation hens. Any new additions to the flock learned the feeder from the original hens.

We got a treadle feeder, but not Grampa's because they were more expensive. But it is working really well! But we super-secured their run, so that helps.

I’m using a Grandpa’s large feeder for my 8 chicks. My girls are 10 weeks old and have no problem with it at all. Since they can’t side feed because of the guards, I’m not concerned about one jumping off the treadle and trapping one side feeding. The top closes securely but it doesn’t slam shut like some videos I’ve seen. I was out of town for the last four days and apparently It worked as advertised because all were fine when I got home. We had plenty of rain here and their feed was still dry, no leaks. Would I buy another one? Yes.
