Had to remove every other divider so the rooster could eat. Seems to play feed out ok. Would have liked to know it was made by a foreign company. I try to buy USA.

The chick starter does not flow into the feed sections as I thought it would. I need to shake it a couple of times a day to get the feed down. Perfect size for chicks and I like hat it is able to hang.

I bought this feeder for my white silkie bantam chicks, to cut down on waste from using several different dish type feeders. This feeder works great with crumbles, and the innovative inside lip really eliminates waste from the chicks scooping the food out. The hanging bracket is also a plus.
Jennifer R from TX
Love this feeder! It is difficult to find hanging feeders with close-fitting lids - finding a small one with a decent lid is even more difficult. Works great in the brooder as the chicks are growing to keep poop out of the food. Plus, the chicks don't play on top of it and knock it over like they do the non-hanging chick feeders. The food waste has decreased dramatically since I put this into the brooder. I ordered more to use in our small chicken tractors too.

I bought it because I thought it was pretty cool since it's designed to cut down waste. However, my three hens do not eat very well from it so in a sense it does save feed. It hangs from the coop ceiling and have adjusted height up & down but they still, unfortunately, do not eat well from it.

On April 12, 2012 I'd posted a negative review for the smaller version of this feeder. Since then our three hens have taken to eating well from it AND there is no question that it does save feed! So now we are about to add 3 more hens and have ordered the larger size. Both sizes will more than pay for themselves with feed savings!
