Feed-O-Matic Poultry Feeder
New! Feed the flock indoors or out with this rodent and songbird resistant feeder. Clever, foot-activated door quickly opens when a bird approaches the feeding trough and closes again when not in use.
Reduce waste and spoilage while ensuring only your birds are able to access the feed.

Took at least a couple weeks for chickens to figure it out. Had to prop door open for a while, and even then, the feed was not very evident to them. Works well, once they get around the learning curve.

Only 4 stars because I'm not had it set up very long. So far, so good. I was excited to see a hen using it because she will have them ALL eating out of it!!!
Great directions and VERY easy to assemble.
Way better price than grandpa's
Buy 3-4 of these instead!

I was really excited about this product at first and my chickens figured it out right away. However, after a few days, it was evident that the food was getting clogged up and not filling up the food trough. I switched from pellets to crumble, but it didn't seem to help. A week into this, I'm thinking I'll be returning it.

It took our chickens a little while to figure it out, but we're losing a lot less food to rot and varmints now. We frequently have house-sitters, and it's nice to not have to worry if they're feeding the chickens. If we can just find a way to keep the dogs out of it, we'll be in business...

My rat waste is gone. Rats were killing me by eating my organic chicken feed.
